Queering the Social Work Classroom: Strategies for Increasing the Inclusion of LGBTQ Persons and Experiences
Wagaman, M. Alex; Shelton, Jama; Carter, Rebecca
Journal of Teaching in Social Work, v38 n2 p166-182 2018
The inclusion of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) perspectives and experiences in the social work classroom is necessary to adequately include LGBTQ students and prepare graduates to practice effectively. Drawing from queer theory as a theoretical framework and the authors' experiences in practice and teaching/learning spaces with LGBTQ youth, this article offers practical strategies for creating classrooms inclusive of LGBTQ persons. Queering the classroom builds skills in students beyond practice with LGBTQ people and communities, thereby enhancing their capacity to engage diversity in practice more generally and to advance human rights and social justice.
