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.

Welcome to Queer Ed

April 25, 2021 • David Church • Season 1 • Episode 1

Episode 1. Welcome to Queer Ed. In this episode, we explore the impact of Section 28 on children, their families and teachers both during the 90s and in today's education system. We'll also discuss how Queer Theory has potential to really challenge the heteronormativity prevalent in education today.
