Out in the Country: Youth, Media, and Queer Visibility in Rural America
I can’t think of a better, more important contribution to enhancing quality education in the nation than this on-the-ground exploration of being queer in rural America. Rural Education and Queer Identities shows, with equal parts heart and heft, that being queer and working with queer youth in the heartland is not what the stereotypes suggest. At a time when LGBTQ rights are being threatened, Confederate flags announce themselves with “I Ain’t Coming Down” banners, and school boards and libraries have turned into front lines in the culture wars, this is a necessary, urgent book.

Rural Education and Queer Identities is a powerful and long overdue exploration of the diverse experiences of LGBTQIA2S+ students and teachers in rural school systems. From an island in rural Michigan to a small town in Alaska, from the deep South to rural Scotland, from the mountain West to central Appalachia these authors invite us into their lives, their educational experiences, and their teaching careers. They urge us to question our assumptions about rural communities and to full-heartedly support rural LGBTQIA2S+ youth and educators who are on the front lines of conservative political attacks against queer and trans people today. I wish I’d had this book to draw on when I taught in rural public schools in my home state of West Virginia years ago. I know it would have provided support and accompaniment I desperately needed. I can’t wait to send a copy to all the rural queer and trans teachers I know.

Rural Education and Queer Identities is a critical, moving collection of research and narratives that center the intersection of queer identities and rurality. This book is a groundbreaking text that provides considerations and insights into how to advance equity and justice in rural education for LGBTQ+ educators and students. During a time of continued and increasing anti-LGBTQ+ legislation and policies, this book provides hope for creating more liberating, transformative spaces for learning.

Descriere
This book explores the facets and intersections of rural education and Queer identities. It looks to schooling and education policy to question how Queer rural youth and educators can be seen, be safe, and be valued in schools and their communities, and considers what a sense of rootedness looks like for Queer people in rural communities.
