The Sex of It All: Outness and Queer Women's Digital Storytelling in Teacher Education
Arraiz Matute, Alexandra; Da Silva, Luna; Pendleton Jiménez, Karleen; Smith, Amy
Teaching Education, v31 n1 p98-111 2020
We discuss the use of digital story methodology as an inquiry into the queering of teacher education. Participants' films explored queer woman teacher identities, including our bodies, histories, and perceptions of our queerness within classes and in the field of education. Through filmmaking, group discussion and analysis, we found contemplation over outness to be a common theme, expressed through the subthemes of vulnerability, compartmentalization, visibility and representation. Our intersecting identities were fundamental in shaping our queer decisions as educators in teacher education. The narrative is articulated through both individual and collective voice.
