Social Media Conversation about Queer Theory & Pedagogy, May 4-6
I believe it is important to address the challenges of teaching theory in a way that is inclusive of LGBT-parent families. ...For that reason I invited April Few-Demo, Áine Humble, Melissa Curran, and Sally Lloyd to write a reflexive article about their challenges teaching family theory, and their insights regarding how we might transform our curricula to be more LGBT relevant.
