July 15, 2025 7:00 pm
Unfiltered, radical conversations at the intersection of queerness and education.
Feeling isolated in your school, department, or campus? You’re not alone. Teaching While Queer brings together LGBTQ+ educators and activists to talk about identity, inclusion, burnout, book bans, drag in the classroom, and finding joy while fighting for justice.
Hosted by Bryan Stanton (they/them)—a former Teacher of the Year turned theatre pedagogy nerd—this podcast centers storytelling as a survival tool and offers support, strategy, and solidarity for queer educators everywhere.
New episodes every Tuesday and Thursday.
🎧 Start with episode 139. “5 Ways Queer Educators Can Build Inclusive Classrooms Without Burning Out”
