"A terrific contribution. LGBTQ politics is an emerging, complex area of pedagogy. The diversity of perspectives here offers a wonderful window into the wide range of issues in the field. It is a balm for the soul to hear from queer scholars and teachers of queer politics from across the country, many of whose experiences mirror my own, and to learn from their thinking and teaching. The editors are giving the field a great gift with this thoughtful compilation." — Shauna Shames, coauthor of Survive and Resist: The Definitive Guide to Dystopian Politics
