Contents:

Becoming the loon: queer masculinities, queer pedagogies -- Courting failure -- Alternative orientations -- Becoming liquid: queer interpretations -- Queer (re)visions of composition.

Summary: "Teaching Queer looks closely at student writing, transcripts of class discussions, and teaching practices in first-year writing courses to articulate queer theories of literacy and writing instruction, while also considering the embodied actuality of being a queer teacher. Rather than positiong queerness as connected only to queer texts or queer teachers/students, the book offers writing and teaching as already queer practices and contends that the overlap between queer theory and composition presents new possibilities for teaching writing. Teaching Queer argues for and enacts "queer forms"--Non-normative and category-resistant forms of writing - that move between the critical and the creative, the theoretical and the practical, and the queer and the often invisible normative functions of classrooms." --back cover
