Where others have explored the teaching of LGBTQ literature
courses, Curricular Innovations: LGBTQ Literatures and the New
English Studies explores the impact that queer writers and their
works are having across the broader undergraduate curriculum of
English departments, as well as beyond those department spaces.
While courses that focus on queer texts provide more space for
students to think about the complexities of queer lives, this book
breaks out of the specialized LGBTQ classroom to consider how we
might also restructure and reframe a diverse set of undergraduate
courses by paying attention to the contributions that LGBTQ writers
make. Beyond simply including a text or two to represent
"difference," contributors to this volume take a more structural
approach in order to demonstrate ways of theming or designing
courses around language, desire, and sexuality. They also
demonstrate what happens when queer texts are given freedom to
shape other classroom spaces, discussions, and reading/writing
practices. This collection offers a practical intervention into
conversations about the purposes and places of LGBTQ literatures by
making good on the challenges that queer theories have posed to
higher education over the last forty years.
