Cruising Utopia: Queer Pedagogies in Higher Education
Alyson Campbell (VCA, University of Melbourne), Cath Lambert (Warwick Sociology) and Jonathan Heron (IATL) to address issues of diversity and inclusion in relation to universities as ‘open-spaces’ for all. This open workshop will feature provocations on radically inclusive teaching practices that draw upon the rich tapestry of queer and feminist pedagogy within (and beyond) university contexts. Following the session there will be a drinks reception to launch the Opening-up workshop series.
