Queer Ed is a philosophy. Our podcast is founded on the basis of ‘Queer Theory’ and ‘critical pedagogy’. It’s more than developing an awareness of LBGT+ diversity and inclusion within schools, this podcast aims to: promote diverse gender identities, fight social inequalities in education, critique the heteronormative culture of educational institutions and challenge cis-normative & heteronormative assumptions. Every episode, we’ll focus on a different issue in education, from discussing the latest research, how we can queer curriculum and provide safe spaces for queer teachers and students.
In part 1 of Episode 4, Josh discusses his journey through the English education system post-Section 28. He reflects on how education has had an impact on his identity development through the reinforcement of societal norms and a lack of queer visibility from staff and students. Josh advocates for open and safe spaces to ensure that all members of the queer community can be themselves.
