173. Teaching the Universal Declaration of Human Rights as Queer Resistance

Queer educators are not just teaching the Universal Declaration of Human Rights—they’re living it, every time they step into the classroom.

This episode is for every teacher who’s ever asked, “How do I teach justice when my own visibility feels at risk?”

We dive into the power of teaching the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) through a queer lens. This episode explores how LGBTQ+ teachers bring human rights to life in schools, bridging history, advocacy, and daily classroom realities.

Listeners will hear stories and strategies that connect queer visibility with broader struggles for justice, uncovering how human rights education can become a radical act of inclusion.

You’ll walk away with:

• Practical ways to bring the UDHR into your classroom in ways that center LGBTQ+ voices.
• Reflections on how Pride and human rights intersect in education.
• Insight into why queer teachers make human rights teaching more urgent and more alive.

Tap play to learn how human rights education can become a form of queer resistance and collective liberation.
