Celebrating Stonewall at 50
July 28, 2019, marks the 50th anniversary of a police raid on the Stonewall Inn. During this raid, police verbally, and in some cases, physically accosted patrons of the Stonewall Inn. Events from this encounter eventually set off a series of protests by members and allies of the LGBT community. These protests came to be known as the Stonewall Riots. On June 24, 2016, the Stonewall Inn became the first U.S. National Monument dedicated to LGBT his…
Managing an unpopular opinion in a controversial political issue discussion
Controversial political issues are, by definition and design, places where students engage with others holding differing opinions. Yet classrooms often reflect U.S. society, which is increasingly segregated by political ideology. This article examines the case of Jake, a young African American man who participated in a high school discussion of same-sex marriage as the only person in the room who believed it should not be allowed. Using discursiv…
Conceptions of Sexuality and Coming out in Three Young Adult Novels
Three award-winning young adult novels with gay protagonists, Hero, Sprout, and In Mike We Trust, are examined to understand how the books portray sexuality and coming out.

Such representations of sexuality constru…

Scholars have called for discussions of same-sex marriage in schools as one way of ending the curricular silence around lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and questioning (LGBTQ) people. Yet, concerns about how students might talk about LGBTQ people can contribute to teachers' reluctance to initiate such discussions. Queer theory suggests that discussions of same-sex marriage require students to negotiate high school cultures that often assume …
Tools of Deliberation
Deliberative discussions are grounded in particular conceptions of democracy and are intensely difficult to learn to lead. This study uses a sociocultural lens to examine the cases of two elementary school teachers as they worked to foster deliberation in their classrooms. Speech code theory is used to uncover conceptual tools the teachers used as they appropriated the practical tools of deliberation. The practical tools of deliberation seemed to…
If He Murdered Someone, He Shouldn't Get A Lawyer”
This study examines student engagement in elementary civics deliberation. Civics problem-solving steps and audience roles were introduced to two suburban fourth-grade classes to increase student engagement. Lessons were adapted from the We The People curriculum. Student engagement increased dramatically as students appropriated the steps and roles. Students also changed the roles to serve both academic and social purposes. Students dealt with com…
Are there any questions? one teacher’s view of students and their questions in a fourth-grade classroom
