“It’s This Practice of Being With”: A Kitchen-Table Talk on Queer and LGBTQ+ Educational Justice

This kitchen-table talk examines what queer and trans* ways of knowing, being, and doing offer to movements for educational justice. We begin by sharing artifacts that illuminate our relationship to queer and trans* justice in education, and from these personal experiences, we explore the tensions and possibilities of queer and trans* dis/embodied epistemologies, with particularly attention to the power of intergenerational coalition building. Ultimately, we highlight how we can practice being with and for one another in the face of ongoing ideological and material violence against queer and trans* people within and beyond educational contexts.
