Queer Action Research in Education
I am interested in Queer Action Research in Education (QUARE), and critical pedagogy to challenge homophobia, heterosexism and heteronormativity in schools. I would be interested to hear about any similar work group members have been involved in. My recently completed doctoral action research focused on exploring the possibilities and limitations to foster teacher empowerment and promote Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Transgender and Queer (GLBTQ) educational equity in schools. The dissertation Promoting Educational Equity through Teacher Empowerment: Web-assisted Transformative Action Research as a Counter-Heteronormative Praxis is available at: http://herkules.oulu.fi/isbn9789514290572/index.html?lang=en Tim Bedford (Oulu, Finland)

your work
Hi Tim, thanks for writing on the blogs. I would love to see your dissertation, is it in English? We need to get more work published on the fusion of critical pedagogy and queer studies, and I would love to help. You are spot-on in the discussion that it is needed, I contend it is often ignored, possibly purposely, and we need to insist it resides in the critical pedagogy discourse. shirley
Critical pedagogy and queer studies
Dear Shirley,
The dissertation is in English - just click on the link in my original posting.
And by the way I enjoyed the book Thinking Queer you edited with Susan Talburt.
I look forward to your feedback on the dissertation.
Regards
Tim
