I’m very excited to be doing a virtual keynote for USQ on my PhD research! This talk will focus on queer and critical arts based pedagogies and how they might be used in teaching & research contexts. Hope to see you there! Thursday, 29 May 2025 9-10am AEST unisq.zoom.us/j/8139925135...

Arts-based and queer pedagogies have much to offer educators and researchers interested in
interdisciplinary approaches to working with young people. In this keynote presentation, I draw
from my doctoral research, which used critical arts-based research to explore students’
experiences of queer joy and challenge at school. Critical arts-based research (Finley et al, 2014)
draws from critical pedagogy and applied theatre; it also shares characteristics with queer theory
and aesthetics. I argue that these qualities give it the potential to “queer” traditional research
practices (Fields et al, 2014) and enrich diverse fields of study with cross-disciplinary knowledge.
In this presentation, I share examples of queer methods used in my study, which helped students
embody their subjugated experiences, challenge the status quo, and imagine their school
differently. I argue that these methods enacted a “pedagogy of utopia” (Busby, 2021) with
moments of “disorientation” (Ahmed, 2006) that were both troubling and transformative. This
pedagogical approach helped foster an environment of joyful subversion and collective agency in
participants, while generating insights into their joys and challenges at school. The study’s
methodological findings offer new “orientations” for educators interested in issues of social
justice, as well as scholars looking to adopt artful methods into their research.

Gifts for teachers: - a 30 second dance party button - gift card for something practical like Instacart or DoorDash - a note about something specific you/your kid likes about them/their class - not a mug - no for real, not a mug.

The fact that writers can use various combinations of 26 letters to make me care about people who never existed and then destroy me emotionally by making them suffer is the weirdest, most unfair, and wonderful of magics
