Punlaan ng diskurso sa pagkatao at kasarian ang mga espasyong tulad ng tahanan at paaralan. Sa mga lugar na ito maaring paikutin ang mga materyal na nagtuturo ng mga kaisipan ukol sa pagkatao ng isang indibidwal tulad ng mga panitikang pambata. Ang mga magulang o gurong nagbabasa nito sa mga bata ay nakatutulong na maghulma ng sensibilidad sa usaping seks at kasarian. Gamit ang ilang teorya mula sa mga larangan ng Queer Theory, Childhood Studies, Critical Studies, at Critical Pedagogy, matalik na binasa ng papel ang katha sa tekstuwal at biswal na antas, at ipinagpatuloy ito sa kritikal na pagbabasa …
A Question Of Affect: A Queer Reading Of Institutional Nondiscrimination Statements At Texas Public Universities, Sarah Dwyer
A Question Of Affect: A Queer Reading Of Institutional Nondiscrimination Statements At Texas Public Universities, Sarah Dwyer
English Faculty Publications
Grounded in my embodied experiences as an openly-queer faculty member at a Texas public university and drawing from Sara Ahmed’s work on affect and institutional diversity, I argue that nondiscrimination statements at Texas public universities are affective objects which serve as straightening devices on the queer bodies that they affect, even as they purport to and often do protect them.

When I began work on this paper I designed a questionnaire to be filled out by women who had recently been on the job market. It asked for fairly detailed information: titles of accepted articles, writing samples, and dissertation, number of MLA interviews, other interviews, campus visits, kinds of questions asked, etc. I had hoped, I think, to develop a magic formula—twelve writing sample requests divided by three interviews multiplied by two publications equals an 87% chance of getting a job, for example. But I had trouble developing the formula; no common patterns emerged. The first thing I did learn …

Since teachers, scholars, and scientists began in recent decades to study people who were previously marginalized or totally ignored, revolutions have occurred in knowledge and in literary theories and criticism. An increasing number of literature teachers acknowledge that they cannot ignore these significant changes.

English teachers are currently beset by a variety of political forces vying for their attention. Education has become big news again for the first time since October 4, 1957, when the Soviet Union inaugurated the Space Age by launching Sputnik, the first man-made satellite. In 1957, astonished at the Russians' success, Americans panicked and decided that their math science, and foreign language training was inadequate. Recent survey~ showing the superiority of Japanese and European students over American students have provoked serious concern about the quality of education going on in American public schools and in our colleges and universities. The …
