Abstract
In this paper, the author argues that Black queer educators have a unique opportunity to point out ways they have been caught in the crosshairs of structural oppression. In light of this, the author offers a BlackQueerEducator politic and praxis. The author argues that a BlackQueerEducator politic is fundamentally guided by intersectional analysis and a Black feminist sensibility and offers ways to challenge oppressive hierarchies.
