Queer studies is an extensive field that spans a range of disciplines. This volume focuses on education and educational research and examines and expounds upon queer studies particular to education fields. It works to examine concepts, theories, and methods related to queer studies across PK-12, higher education, adult education, and informal learning.
The volume takes an intentionally intersectional approach, with particular attention to the intersections of white supremacist cisheteropatriachy. It includes well-established concepts with accessible and entry-level explanations, as well as emerging and cutting-edge concepts in the field. It is designed to be used by those new to queer studies as well as those with established expertise in the field.
Kamden Strunk, Ph.D. (2012), Oklahoma State University, is an Associate Professor of Educational Research at Auburn University. His research focuses on sexual, gender, and racial identities in education, especially higher education, and quantitative methods.
Stephanie Anne Shelton, Ph.D. (2016), The University of Georgia, is an Associate Professor of Qualitative Research at The University of Alabama. Her research examines LGBTQ+ topics in K-12 and higher education, and queer theories in relation to qualitative research methodologies.
