Queer Autobiography, Queer Culture as Community, and Fugitive Knowledge

Theorizing Queer Pedagogy in English Studies after the 1990s Introduction to a special issue of College English that "asks how queer theory, as it has developed over the past decade, has ruptured received notions of disciplinary knowledge, textual/cultural production and interpretation, and difference (including, but not limited to, sexual difference), and critically examines queer theory's potential for transforming undergraduate English teaching." Argues that "the intersections of queer theory and critical pedagogy are filled with numerous and exciting possibilities for productive classroom inquiry, cultural analysis, public deliberation, and social (ex)change."
