Thinking Queer takes up the challenges of queer theorizing for education by interrogating the
effects of representation through voice and visibility the interplay of social and academic
knowledges and ignorances and the performative aspects of queer identities and practices.
Engaging ethnography philosophical policy and social analysis cultural and media studies
and theoretical stances from psychoanalysis to complexity theory the essays in this volume
challenge readers to move beyond the logic of identity politics in order to consider the
limitations and possibilities of cultural and institutional policies and practices in K-12 and
higher educational contexts. This volume offers analyses of queer subjects that frame
possibilities for new forms of inquiry into queer politics and practices and suggests tactics
for educational change.
