Description

Are you a queer educator feeling isolated by identity politics on campus?


Teaching While Queer provides queer folks working in education with a community to feel less alone and unload the burden of identity politics so you can work & live as your authentic self.

Listen to:

  • Be enveloped in a community of queer educators 
  • Gain resources and advice on LGBTQ inclusion in School
  • Move from surviving to thriving authentically in your professional and personal life


Host, Bryan Stanton holds an MFA in Theatre Pedagogy with a focus on Culturally Responsive Pedagogy and Universal Design for Learning. He is a former Teacher of the Year who was targeted by conservative voices which led to the creation of this space. 


Every Tuesday and Thursday Bryan sits down with queer educators from around the world to amplify their voices and ensure that we are never silenced. 


Ready to reclaim your voice and connect with a supportive community? Start by listening to episode #19: "Advocacy through Art and Drag: A Queer Teacher Helping LGBTQ Students in Schools”.
