Abstract

Moving beyond axial considerations, we recount the experiences of Black queer educators and the literacies we engage in for survival and thriving (Blockett et al. 2022). In our pointed exploration of virtual and physical, we consider anti-Black and anti-queer moments as sites of fugitivity – a Black resistance formation (Best & Hartman 2005; Givens 2021). For this paper, we focus on non-conventional, un-codified, rule-defying literacies that Black queer people have and continued to engage to resist, subvert, decenter, exist, and create. In doing so we provide insight into the survival and agency of Black queer people, and invite opportunities to consider new possible futures for the experiences of Black queer educators.
