Abstract

[This chapter offers an unprecedented study of Polish non-heterosexually identified teachers’ discourses of sexuality circulating in and beyond the classroom. To this end, we organized one focus group (FG) and two follow-up in-depth interviews (IDIs). The overarching aim was to identify and explore discourses produced by LGBT teachers for possible convergences and clashes, and to juxtapose these with their reported teaching praxis. Our data show the discursive struggle between the need for an inclusive classroom and the jeopardy that executing this need entails for the teachers’ professional identity construction, and—as a consequence—their careers within the state-run educational system. We also draw attention to the heterogeneity of discourses and fragmented inclusive/progressive language use.]
