Sprinkle
Sprinkle was originally conceived in 2007 as a collection of student works from the McGill Sexual Diversity Studies department. We hope to widen this scope a bit, but continue to produce a queer-positive, critical journal that seeks to challenge the normative experiences that are often privileged within our society. In this vein, we hope to draw attention to queer history and experience as well as other issues of gender and sexuality, subjects not often addressed within classroom curricula. This journal hopes to draw from and appeal to a wide audience, and people of numerous identities and backgrounds. Sprinkle aims to lend legitimacy to the thoughts and experiences of young people, and produce an engaging publication.
Volume 3 of Sprinkle now available!
Dear Sprinkle contributors and readers-

Gender, bullying, and harassment: Using queer pedagogy to disrupt discourses of power and popularity in school
This talk will address the problems of bullying and harassment in K-12 schools from a queer and poststructuralist feminist perspective. Dr. Meyer proposes a new paradigm for understanding bullying and harassing behaviors (including cyberbullying) in schools in order to suggest more effective solutions to improving students’ and teachers’ educational experiences. By introducing the principles inspired by queer theory into pedagogical discourses, we will be more able to reduce violent behaviors, drop-out rates, and improve the educational and professional opportunities for all members of diverse school communities.

Critical pedagogies of consumption.... New edited book out
Hi All,
Just in time for your holiday shopping extravaganza.....!
I wanted to spread the news about an edited volume that was recently published. Below I'm pasting the preface, which describes the purpose of the book and provides an overview of the chapters. We are excited about the range of issues focused on consumer capitalism discussed in the book, and hope that educators interested in environmental education, consumerism, popular culture, and anti-consumption resistance will find this volume helpful!

Scholastic censors same-sex families from book fairs
According to the School Library Journal, Scholastic books is asking Lauren Myracle, the author of the new book "Luv Ya Bunches" to rewrite her story to exclude one of the character's parents because they are gay. The author is willing to clean up some of the "objectionable" language (words like "crap" and "sucks"), but refuses to de-gay the story since it reflects modern families. I'm so proud of Ms.

Update on the undergraduate journal project - SPRINKLE: A journal of sexual diversity studies
I am so excited that this journal project is off the ground. I have so many keen and talented students from this course that this is going to be such a great learning experience for us all. We have 5 undergrads on the editorial board who will be working with me and a grad student (a TA from the course) to put this issue together. Shirley has graciously offered server space here at the Friere project since creating space for younger voices and marginalized experiences is integral to the philosophy of this project.
