Establishing queer foundations: Collaborative narrative reflections on engaging drag pedagogy in preservice teacher professional development
“I can be the weird STEM kid who is also gay”: Queer rightful presence in STEM making
Background STEM participation is often associated with the disenfranchisement of historically marginalized individuals.

However, research to understand and facilitate STEM experiences of queer youth what are al…

One Class Is Not Enough: Learnings From a Critical Race Media Literacy Course for Elementary Teacher Education
The authors explore their use of critical race media literacy in an elective elementary teacher education course. Analysis of course work and reflexive conversations (between the authors) indicate the necessity to support preservice teachers’ embodiments of critical race media literacy, racial pedagogical content knowledge, and racial pedagogical decision making to enact critical pedagogies in their future elementary classrooms
Successes, challenges, and surprises: Teacher reflections on using children’s literature to examine complex social issues in the elementary classroom
Children’s literature provides elementary teachers and students the opportunity to critically engage in the world around them. However, too often teachers choose not to engage students in discussions of complex social issues out of a sense of fear or discomfort. In this paper, we explore the reflections of 11 teachers who chose to engage their students in discussions of three complex social issues: immigration, migration, and forced relocation. S…
STEM as a cover: Towards a framework for Queer Emotions, Battle Fatigue, and STEM identity
This study seeks to understand the daily violence endured by queer youth. We use Queer Battle Fatigue, Ahmed’s cultural politics of emotion, and STEM identity theories to make meaning of youth’s experience. We draw from audio recordings and transcriptions of 15 queer youth over the course of a summer and fall LGBTQ + maker camp in a rural town in the Intermountain Western part of the United States. Findings show that the maker camp environment pr…
The Big Lie(s): Situating the January 6th Coup Attempt Within White Supremacist Lies
Donald Trump's attempts to retain power despite losing the 2020 presidential election by engaging in a wide-ranging mis/disinformation campaign has been framed as The Big Lie. By framing Trump's attempts at stealing the election as The Big Lie, it erases the systemic presence of white supremacy and situates all other lies as truths. We utilize critical discourse analysis to construct an intersectional understanding of how Trump utilized lies in p…
