Abstract

ABSTRACT Home economics is a diverse helping field that includes the areas of child development and education, nutrition, cooking, and the dietetics profession. Historically, these fields have been the domain of heterosexual cisgender women, with research and discussions of queerness limited. In this article, using queer methodologies and a queer autobiographical writing approach, we explore our experiences as two queer individuals who teach in disciplines within home economics, with the intent of cultivating more space for queerness within the fields of early childhood education and dietetics. We created common themes of queer subjectivities and queer knowledges from our autobiographical writing. In the queer subjectivities theme, we analyze the regulation and surveillance of masculinities and queer subjectivities. In the queer knowledges theme, we explore issues of queer pedagogies and practices within teaching. Recommendations for creating queer potentialities that disrupt normative notions of care that silence queer subjectivities and knowledges within home economics are discussed.

家政学中的问题与问题主体性：引导和颠覆高等教育中的帮扶职业

摘要家政学是一个多元化的帮助领域，包括儿童发展和教育、营养、烹饪和营养学专业。从历史上看，这些领域一直是异性恋顺性别女性的领域，对同性恋的研究和讨论有限。在这篇文章中，我们使用酷儿方法论和酷儿自传体写作方法，探索了我们作为两个在家政学科任教的酷儿的经历，目的是在幼儿教育和营养学领域培养更多的酷儿空间。我们在自传体写作中创造了酷儿主观和酷儿知识的共同主题。在酷儿主体性主题中，我们分析了对男性性和酷儿主体的调控和监督。在酷儿知识主题中，我们探讨了酷儿教育学和教学实践的问题。讨论了创造酷儿潜能的建议，这些潜能破坏了规范性的护理观念，从而压制了家政学中的酷儿主观主义和知识。

期刊介绍： Equity & Excellence in Education publishes articles based on scholarly research utilizing qualitative or quantitative methods, as well as essays that describe and assess practical efforts to achieve educational equity and are contextualized within an appropriate literature review. We consider manuscripts on a range of topics related to equity, equality and social justice in K-12 or postsecondary schooling, and that focus upon social justice issues in school systems, individual schools, classrooms, and/or the social justice factors that contribute to inequality in learning for students from diverse social group backgrounds. There have been and will continue to be many social justice efforts to transform educational systems as well as interpersonal interactions at all levels of schooling.
