Queer Masculinities in Education: An Introduction

Abstract

This chapter serves as the introduction to our edited volume Queer Masculinities: A Critical Reader in Education. We organize our discussion of the contributor essays across three spheres of education: the K–12 level, the collegiate level, and within popular culture as “cultural pedagogy.” Thus, we frame the volume as contributing—methodologically, theoretically, and politically—to the fields of critical masculinity studies, educational studies, and queer studies by specifically engaging in knowledge production about the meanings and practices of queer masculinities in education.
