Section Info:
Topic: Queer Pedagogies in Writing Studies This course examines scholarship at the intersections of writing pedagogy and LGBTQ studies to engage, complicate, and contribute to the scholarly conversation called “queer pedagogies.” As we do so, we will keep in mind two guiding questions: What might we identify as the intellectual, political, and cultural work of queer pedagogies in the teaching of writing? What do queer writing pedagogies make possible alongside disciplinary boundaries and boundary crossings of literary, rhetorical, historical, critical race/ethnic, feminist, and LGBTQ studies? The course will begin with a historiography of how writing instruction and LGBTQ studies began to engage one another, with particular emphasis on the challenges posed to the teaching of writing as it engaged the then nascent field of LGBTQ studies in the formative years of this critical conversation. We will then turn to studies focused specifically on teacher and student identity, examining how identity-based experiences inside and outside of writing classrooms impact the intersections of LGBTQ life, culture, and politics in the teaching of writing. After this, the course will move to examine works that have addressed productive tensions in queer pedagogies scholarship, with special attention to texts that help us to interrogate the ways race, class, citizenship, gender, disability, and other identities corroborate and complicate one another as embodied identities, political positions, and cultural formations. Students will be responsible for regular readings, participation in critical class discussions, a short essay, and a final project consisting of a shorter seminar paper and/or designing a course unit wherein they employ queer pedagogies in their own teaching at UIUC, in another school, after-school, or community literacy program setting. The course will conclude with short student presentations about the course units you designed.
