Sexual Orientation and Teacher Identity: Professionalism and GLBT Politics in Teacher Preparation and Practice examines the nature of LGBTQ issues and teacher identity as social, cultural, and political constructs. In particular, the contributing authors to this collection of chapters present a collection of chapters (contemporary discourses) that will illuminate and critique the practices, structures, and politics in both teacher preparation programs and public school settings that affect LGBTQ teachers and their identity in relation to the struggles of teachers as professionals face in obtaining recognition. The contributing authors of the book focus on teachers are entering educational settings where difference connotes not equal, and discourses of LGBTQ politics, identity, and difference are interwoven with a realization of discrimination and marginalization. The authors, drawing on their personal and professional experiences, give much needed voice to recognition and the formation of identity from a LGBTQ viewpoint as they relate to teachers, teacher educators, and other cultural workers responsible for shaping professional identities of teachers and for teaching students in schools and classrooms across the nation.

JenlinkEditor and Authors

A powerful and timely collection that uses a LGBTQ perspective to interrogate the normative ideological effects of heteronormativity on teacher educators and preservice and practicing teachers, especially when transgressing the inherent reproductive conservatism of public schools. This books calls for a deep equity by advancing research and scholarship as to how a critical pedagogy of identity can improve teaching and teacher education. Viewed through an intersectional lens of LGBTQ and teacher identities along with pedagogy, each chapter offers educators at all levels a transformative standpoint on teaching and learning.
