Queering School/s

What would it mean to queer schools in France? For Emma Sfez, this would mean engaging in an ongoing reflection about the languages, representations, images, structures and narratives that circulate and have become ingrained in the educational system. Informed by her involvement and research with a French collective named Queer Éducation, she developed a workshop for educational staff. The workshops comprise games, collective reflections and informal moments to facilitate sharing experiences and practices that relate to ideas of authority, space and normality in educational practices. Each workshop is different, based on the participants, but the workshops feed each other through archival processes and material traces.
