- Abstract
We discuss how to move the family studies field and the teaching of family theories from covering the 'facts' that LGBT-parent families exist to a critical conversation that incorporates conceptual tools, language, and theoretical insights from queer and intersectionality theories. We attempt to move this conversation by presenting a model of curricular change for teaching family studies theories courses that shifts from LGBT-parent exclusion, compensatory addition of LGBT-parent families, and LGBT-parent families as disadvantaged to a focus on queer and intersectional scholarship and a continuing postmodern paradigm shift. We discuss how instructors can engage in critical feminist-oriented self-reflexivity and transformational pedagogy.
