UNDRESSING AS NORMAL: THE IMPACT OF COMING OUT IN CLASS

Pages 287-300 | Published online: 04 Oct 2010
 

Abstract

This auto-ethnographic narrative presents the experiences of a teacher educator who came out to his preservice teachers. The narrative documents a diversity workshop in which some teacher candidates were uncomfortable after the instructor's previously undisclosed sexuality was revealed. The implications of this narrative raise questions about the role coming out in class has for transformation of the self and for promoting classroom discourse that allows teacher candidates to explore and reconsider assumptions, attitudes, and values about sexual orientation.
