Queeruptions and the Question of QTPOC Thriving in Schools - An Excavation

This essay is a reflection on ideas explored within the symposium on “queeruptions.”, the spaces and places they point us toward, and the ways they reveal our world. My remarks are multi-layered. First, I revisit several of the queer of color epistemologies described in the articles. Second, I discuss spaces—that exist and are shaped or that are created—as these QTPOC move through the world. Finally, I offer educational implications and invite readers to consider both structural and curricular possibilities. My hope is for readers to take up the challenge of imagining and creating a new world.
