Queers Teach This: Adam J. Greteman In Conversation With Erica Meiners

Exhibitions

Wednesday, November 12

4:30 p.m. - 6:00 p.m. CST

SAIC Galleries, 37 S. Wabash Ave

Join SAIC professor Dr. Adam J. Greteman and Dr. Erica Meiners for a public conversation about Dr. Greteman’s new book, Queers Teach This: Queer and Trans Pleasures, Politics, and Pedagogues. In a moment of educational backlash against LGBTQ+ inclusion in curriculum, this conversation invites artists, educators, students, and community members to engage and reflect on the pleasures and politics of queer and trans communities as they work to reimagine educational possibilities in schools and beyond. The conversation will examine lessons drawn from Dr. Greteman's book, such as thriving amidst adversity, and highlights how joy and resistance intersect in the classroom. Don’t miss this chance to explore what it means to teach, learn, and thrive together in these challenging times with two leading voices in queer pedagogy. Dr. Erica R. Meiners is Professor of Educational Inquiry and Curriculum Studies and Professor of Women’s, Gender and Sexuality Studies at Northeastern Illinois University in Chicago.
