Description

Queer pedagogy is the application of queer theory to teaching and learning. It seeks to create an inclusive learning environment for teachers and learners, queer or otherwise, that can also help the classroom serve as a tool of positive social change. As we seek climate justice for all in the face of existential threats, queer pedagogy advocates for the end the of the heteronormative and patriarchal attitudes that have underpinned them. This presentation explores queer pedagogy as an educational approach within climate justice, with the aim of sharing practical approaches for climate justice educators practitioners to incorporate queer pedagogy, and for queer pedagogues to further a queered version of climate justice.
