Thanks to Katie, Emily, Emily, Guy, and Peter for their presentation on Queer Theory yesterday! I've posted the slides from their presentation on Angel. Although you are welcome to ask other types of questions in your critical response papers to Freak Show, one approach that might work well with this book would be to explore how the author plays with the idea of "heteronormativity".
I've also posted an article called "Anti-homophobic Pedagogy" in the Additional Readings and week 9 folders. This is optional reading. I posted it because, although it is written to an audience of educators, I think the author makes some interesting points about how sexual orientation is discussed and why one may or may not one might be public about sexual orientation in the workplace. (He does make the point that those who are heterosexual might have less expeirence thinking of this as a choice that carries certain priviledges.)
To recap, for Tuesday, please read Freak Show and write a one-page critical response. On Thursday we'll hear from the Reader Response Theory Group!
Enjoy the weekend!
