QualLab Lunchtime Lecture Series: Manageable Subjects: Trans Childhoods and Civic Learning in the Elementary Classroom (Zoom)
The QualLab is excited to welcome Dr. Harper Keenan, inaugural Robert Quartermain Professor of Gender and Sexuality Research in Education at the University of British Columbia, for our first QualLab Lunch of 2024! Join us on Thursday, January 18, 2024, noon – 1 P.M, for Dr. Keenan’s lecture on “Unmanageable Subjects: Trans Childhoods and Civic Learning in the Elementary Classroom.” Registration is open now.
In this lecture, Dr. Keenan discusses the epistemological and pedagogical impacts of positioning trans people as unmanageable subjects within the context of K-12 schools in the United States. This talk invites participants to grapple with two focal questions:
How might educators and scholars embrace this unmanageability? What might it look like to practice civic education that resists rigidly scripting the world, including who children can be and become within it?
