T* is for Thriving
Being a transgender* or gender creative (T*GC) child in the United States today means being the subject of a national debate about whether you are entitled to exist, live a full life, or control your body. T*GC students have suffered outside of and within schools, experiencing among the highest rates of academic exclusion, vulnerability to bullying and violence, poor mental health, and troubling life outcomes due to bias, stigma, and discrimination. At the time this manuscript was completed, the Human Rights Campaign had officially declared a “State of Emergency'' for LGBTQ+ Americans.

Queers Teach This!
In this open access book, philosopher of education Adam Greteman offers commentary on five lessons queers teach: transparency, inconvenience, others, hatred, and coming into. Intentionally idiosyncratic, each of these lessons takes seriously the work of teaching, the work of teachers, and the complex realities that unfold around LGBTQ+ issues and lives as they enter educational conversations. These conversations are conditioned by contexts and communities that make bold proclamations difficult, but also point toward possibilities rooted in specifics. Combined, these five lessons provide commentary on an educational project that forefronts queers and their practices amid complex and changing ...

The book is set up in such a way that teachers can follow the curriculum from beginning to end—o...
Bounding Greed
Building on the work of Guillaume (2021), the collection of autoethnographies and testimonios in this book highlight positive coping mechanisms, strategies, and healthy boundaries that early, middle, and late-career Faculty of Color at comprehensive universities have deployed to negotiate home and work. As beautifully stated by Aeriel A. Ashlee, whose story you will find in chapter two: “It is not a formula, a blueprint to copy, or a recipe to repeat;” however, we hope that the stories about relying on faith, family, mentors, culture, and community presented in the following chapters will support Faculty of Color in their own well-being and work-life integration efforts. Certainly, work-...
