Queer Ed Podcast
Queer Ed is a philosophy. Our podcast is founded on the basis of ‘Queer Theory’ and ‘critical pedagogy’. It’s more than developing an awareness of LBGT+ diversity and inclusion within schools, this podcast aims to: promote diverse gender identities, fight social inequalities in education, critique the heteronormative culture of educational institutions and challenge cis-normative & heteronormative assumptions. Every episode, we’ll focus on a different issue in education, from discussing the latest research, how we can queer curriculum and provide safe spaces for queer teachers and students.
