On Teaching Queer Indigenous Literatures
Hanson, Aubrey Jean
English in Australia, v53 n2 p68-73 2018
This short response to the theme of 'Love in English' reflects on the importance of teaching queer and Indigenous literatures within English classes. I share personal perspectives on seeking literature that reflected who I was as a young person developing queer and Indigenous identities. I also share professional experiences from my past English teaching. Further, drawing upon original interviews with Indigenous authors, I share considerations for teachers on why it matters to teach queer Indigenous literatures. Ultimately, this piece contends that young people -- particularly queer and Indigenous youth -- need to see themselves storied into the world.
