Exploring Instagram’s public pedagogy at scale, this book uses
innovative digital methods to trace and analyze how publics
reinforce and resist settler colonialism as they engage with the
Trans Mountain pipeline controversy online. The book traces
opposition to the Trans Mountain pipeline in so-called Canada,
where overlapping networks of concerned citizens, Indigenous land
protectors, and environmental activists have used Instagram to
document pipeline construction, policing, and land degradation;
teach using infographics; and express solidarity through artwork
and re-shared posts. These expressions constitute a form of
“public pedagogy,†where social media takes on an educative
force, influencing publics whether or not they set foot in the
classroom.
Queer studies is an extensive field that spans a range of
disciplines. This volume focuses on education and educational
research and examines and expounds upon queer studies particular to
education fields. It works to examine concepts, theories, and
methods related to queer studies across PK-12, higher education,
adult education, and informal learning. The volume takes an
intentionally intersectional approach, with particular attention to
the intersections of white supremacist cisheteropatriachy. It
includes well-established concepts with accessible and entry-level
explanations, as well as emerging and cutting-edge concepts in the
field. It is designed to be used by those new to queer studies as
well as those with established expertise in the field.
