Queering the Boundaries: Learning Across Borders

Call for Papers and Presentations

LGBTQ&A Pre‐Conference At

AERC (Adult Education Research Conference) 2013

May 30, 2013

St. Louis, Missouri

Organizer: Matthew Eichler, PhD, Texas State University‐San Marcos
We live in a context of global awareness and sexual awareness. Growing public awareness of the lives of LGBTQ&A (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and allies) continues to lead individuals to transgress the boundaries of the closet. We also see an awareness of the lives sexual minorities not only in North America but globally. Indeed, our politics of resistance as queers is not just local or national, but global as well. We see the queer migrations from countries with laws and policies that create hostile environments for LGBTQ people to those with laws and policies in place to protect the dignity and rights of LGBTQ people. Because of the variety of laws, policies, and cultural practices that affect sexual minorities on a global, state, and local level, being a sexual minority is a complex practice, involving negotiating identity, learning, and performance. As adult educators, we are faced with understanding the complexity of learners and the complexity of our own practice as educators who are LGBTQ&A.
