In this Tenure lecture, Dr. Adam J. Greteman discusses three current projects that explore his philosophical, pedagogical, and community based work addressing queer lessons. Queerness survives into threat, just as it survives into expanding possibilities. While certain forms of queerness were being folded into the fold of normality, other forms of queerness remained threatened. Queerness has survived within educational projects despite the odds against it – from AIDS and pathological discourses to familial homophobia and hatred in the hallways. Queers have developed an arsenal of tools (and toys) to advocate for their cultural histories and practices.
There have been inroads in the presence and inclusion of LGBTQ students, teacher, and LGBTQ students, teachers, and issues have, precariously so, been more and more been integrated into schools. Yet challenges persist. How, Dr. Greteman’s scholarship asks, can education be built upon the histories, cultures, and practices, of queers to promote queerness; to cultivate a queer present and future?
