Queering art teacher education

Abstract

This article sounds a call to action and addresses the challenges of creating inclusive, queer-affrming art teacher education curricula. We examine such challenges through case study vignettes of our varied US university settings and explore the perils of teaching in an increasingly queer-hostile culture. Strategies are given for avoiding attacks against LGBT-supportive pedagogy and championing the cause of social justice for queer students, parents, artists, teachers and faculty. © 2007 NSEAD/Blackwell Publishing Ltd.
