10 Things you Can do to Create LGBTQ+-Inclusive and Affirming Language Classrooms
Date: 5.5.23
Time: 10:00 am - 11:30 am
Description: We know that LGBTQ+ people and their lives - despite being part of public life - are rarely included in the content of classroom language learning. While many language educators understand the urgent need to support all learners in the development of appropriate and respectful queer literacies, how can we do that in ways that are affirming for the LGBTQ+ people who learn alongside us? It can be scary to take that first step ("What if something goes wrong?"), and confusing to even know which step to take. In this lecture, I'll share ten research-informed principles and practices that you can implement right away to create language classrooms that are both inclusive of LGBTQ+ lives and affirming for the LGBTQ+ people in them.
