LGBTQ Studies Pedagogy Workshop presented by CUNY Center for Lesbian and Gay Studies (CLAGS) and co-sponsored by CSGS.

Matthew Brim, English, College of Staten Island, CUNY

This workshop will explore the responsibilities of the queer studies teacher in hyperassimilationist gay and straight culture. How might queer classrooms be intentionally framed as separatist in this context, and what does separatist queer pedagogy look like? The workshop will be discussion based, so please come ready to participate.

Matthew Brim is Assistant Professor of Queer Studies in the English department at the College of Staten Island, CUNY. His research focuses mostly on 20th- and 21st-century queer American literature and culture. His current book project, titled “James Baldwin and the Queer Imagination,” argues that Baldwin plays a central and complicated role in the “queer imagination,” a term used to characterize the overlapping creative energies and critical approaches that have given rise to the universalizing project of queer literary and theoretical inquiry.

The Feminist Pedagogy Conference is a venue for conversation concerning the present state of feminist pedagogy both within and beyond the academy. Building on previous work, this is a forum to share pedagogical methods and ideas for teaching in women’s and gender studies and/or feminist approaches to learning and classroom strategies. Through the conference we aim to create a space were people can discuss the politics, problems, and transformative potential of feminist pedagogical practices in classrooms and community settings.
