This book draws upon a queer literacy framework to map out examples for teaching literacy across pre-K-12 schooling. To date, there are no comprehensive Pre-K-12 texts for literacy teacher educators and theorists to use to show successful models of how practicing classroom teachers affirm differential (a)gender bodied realities across curriculum and schooling practices. This book aims to highlight how these enactments can be made readily conscious to teachers as a reminder that gender normativity has established violent and unstable social and educational climates for the millennial generation of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, intersex, (a)gender/(a)sexual, gender creative, and questioning youth.

Rezensionen

Selected by Choice magazine as an Outstanding Academic Title for 2018

"This timely book is a splendid addition to the literature aimed at informing and guiding educators in supporting trans_ individuals ... . The editor ... has gathered a talented group of knowledgeable contributors who collectively provide a rich mix of theory and practice. ... the book would be of great benefit within any teacher education program, especially now when trans_ rights and safety are under fire in so many quarters." (H. M. Miller, Choice, Vol. 55 (5), January, 2018)

"This edited collection is a great resource for pre-service and in-service teachers, as well as teacher educators and community activists that work with youth. ... the authors also do a good job at addressing possible scenarios and providing concrete implications for practitioners making it an important and novel contribution to the field of LGBT youth studies." (Mario I. Suárez, Journal of LGBT Youth, Vol. 15, February, 2018)
