Anthology will collect personal narratives by lesbian teachersand students who speak about sexual identity and its effects on the teaching andlearning process. The mission of this anthology is to provide, through personalstories, an analysis of how sexuality (specifically, how being a queer woman)can influence classroom dynamics in the high school and university setting.
Welcomes first-person essays from women who write about thesurprises, successes or challenges (personal and political) that queerwomen–whether out of the closet or not–have experienced in a high school oruniversity setting. I am seeking diverse voices and welcome submissions frominstructors and students who identity as lesbian or bi-sexual.
