- Title
DRAWING THE SEXUALITY CARD: TEACHING, RESEARCHING, AND LIVING BISEXUALITY.
- Authors
Meyer, Michaela D. E.
- Abstract
This essay utilizes autoethnography to understand the stigma associated with identifying as bisexual in academic contexts. I weave classroom experiences as teacher and student with academic research, social systems, and critical analysis to highlight the importance of multiple approaches to issues of sexuality. While I recognize the logic of withholding one's sexual identity in the classroom, I also show how denying this information to students and audiences that need it most closes any potential for dialogue that could improve our social and academic understandings of sexuality.
