Abstract

We draw from critical pedagogy and work on radical democratic praxis when discussing ways to teach sexuality studies in a way that embodies revolt and resistance to inequitable social hierarchies. Together, we specifically look at three areas where we have worked to infuse the teaching of sexuality with themes of resistance and revolt: 1) Enhancing political engagement, including a closer look at how to create an advocacy group; 2) Manifesto writing, with students writing their own manifesto; 3) Teaching anti-assimilationist politics, as students imagine and design an anti-assimilationist gay pride parade. These examples of pedagogies, class materials, and assignments suggest that teaching sexuality from a critical and activist posture works to better incorporate voices on the margins (e.g., queer/trans, women, fat, disabled, older, people of color) while pushing back against the biocentric notion that sexuality studies merely teaches about sexual facts.

摘要

在讨论以体现对不公平社会等级制度的反抗和抵抗的方式教授性研究的方法时，我们借鉴了批判性教学法并致力于激进的民主实践。我们一起专门研究了三个领域，我们致力于将抵抗和反抗的主题融入性教育中：1) 加强政治参与，包括仔细研究如何创建倡导团体；2) 宣言写作，让学生写自己的宣言；3) 教授反同化政治，让学生想象和设计反同化同性恋骄傲游行。这些教学法、课堂材料和作业的例子表明，从批判性和激进主义的姿势教授性行为可以更好地吸收边缘的声音（例如，酷儿/跨性别者、女性、肥胖、残疾人、老年人、
