Teaching Resources

For those teaching academic courses in queer theology and religious traditions, Queer Spirit sought to provide contemporary examples of queer life and religious identity. In doing so, Marvin and Tamara hoped the series would serve as a bridge between lived experience and academic study.

For example, a teacher could assign one or more podcasts to students and ask them to reflect on their own identities and spiritual journeys in relation to those they’ve listened to or, as a parallel exercise, conduct their own interviews. 

As a more structured example, below is a lesson plan that is linked to this exhibit to be used in secondary and collegiate education as well as religious communities. Click on the image to download the entire lesson plan.
