“Teacher, come here! Paulo is gonna have a baby”: gender, sexuality and teacher’s training

Abstract

This paper discusses various experiments that reveal understandings, dilemmas and eases on the issue of gender and sexuality in teacher’s training. Mainly through a post-structuralist theoretical perspective, here it is discussed the author’s experiences regarding reports (their contexts and meanings) that have been collected during his work as a university professor, researcher in the field of gender and sexuality and militant towards sexual diversity. With these educational practices reflected theoretically, it is concluded that a possible way to start thinking teacher education and issues of gender and sexuality is from strangeness to transgressions in classrooms, let emerge the difference and think about it critically in search of experiences not lived yet and not necessarily in search of a respect for diversity.
