QSEC at CSSE and Congress 2021-Day 2

2/6/2021

0 Comments

 
​Day 2 of QSSEC brought us a second panel on policy implications for gender and sexuality in education.

Before the panel began, Chair Kate Reid provided us with a concrete action to show support for Indigenous communities mourning the deaths of 215 Indigenous children who died at residential school in Kamloops, British Columbia.

Kate provided us with the names of three organizations who are doing activist work to support Indigenous communities and asked us to send donations to one or all of them.

Sell it as a positive aspect of yourself': Non-binary educators' strategies for
finding school jobs
Lee Iskander (UBC)
 
Ripped from the headlines: Examining LGBTQ+ issues in Jamaican print
media and its impact on education

human rights law

******************************************************************

Later that afternoon, our colleague Lee Airton presented a keynote talk called The (re-)emergence of gender diversity and the challenge for teacher education in which they spoke about the challenges and violence trans and non-binary teacher candidates face when they are out on their practicum placements. 

Instead of trying to change associate teachers’ minds and views about gender identity and gender expression, and asking teacher candidates to become a “gender inclusive sacrificial lamb” Lee recommends teacher education programs:

  • Abolish centralized practicum placement
  • Design program so that school staff, faculty, TC are known to each other before practicum begins
  • Stop talking about professionalism
 
Both Andrew Campbell and Lee Airton have been guests on Tara Goldstein's podcast Gender. Sexuality. School. and you can listen to them talk about their research and writing at ​www.lgbtqfamiliesspeakout.ca/podcast.html
