Abstract
Maintaining the relationship between criticality and queerness is a necessary task, a point made well by the essays in this volume and articulated by queer teachers and queer researchers in various importantly challenging ways. As normalcy begins to potentially overtake us, it is more than ever necessary to continue making ourselves the focus of our own critical lens. Queer scholars are eloquent in wrapping experience in theory, turning theory onto experience, finding inconsistencies in desires and destabilizing desire in inquiry. Within all of that virtuosity is both the move to self-overcoming and the older games of mastery. Schooling has always been difficult and queers in education have long been doing their level best to make sure it stays that way in productive ways.
