Abstract

[This chapter investigates the intersection of professional identity and sexuality. This work is carried out by exploring how language educators navigate their professional positioning with an approach to creating diverse and inclusive learning spaces that have space for LGBTQ+ lives and bodies when dealing with linguistically and culturally diverse students. Set in the context of the United States, this study underscores subtly the tensions language educators may feel, especially those in K-12 settings to be largely apolitical entities in the name of being unbiased and how this can clash with the need to be inclusive and the politically and ideologically fraught nature of education. To that end, Longoria closes out their chapter by drawing our attention to how we can better support language educators in their efforts to create safe, inclusive, culturally responsive spaces.]
