Based on a qualitative research study of gay and lesbian teachers,
Unmasking Identities explores how gay and lesbian teachers bring
together their identities in a climate where the two have
historically been pitted against each other. Janna Marie Jackson
demonstrates that participants made direct and indirect connections
between their experiences related to being gay or lesbian and their
classroom practices of promoting social justice and building on
students' understandings. This process of integrating their sexual
identities with their roles as teachers was facilitated and
inhibited by several factors including the community atmosphere,
school culture, and family status. This unique book explores what
happens when identities are oppressed and suppressed and the
consequences when they finally break free. Unmasking Identities
provides theoretical understandings and practical advice for
teachers, administrators, and policy-makers who are concerned about
gay and lesbian issues. This engaging text will appeal to those
interested in gender studies and issues in education.
