title = "Re-doing teacher education: joyful differences? Australian queer teacher educators and social justice education",
abstract = "This chapter explores the pleasures and pains experienced by queer teacher educators in a small-scale study focussed upon the affective dimensions of teaching in and around diversity, difference, inclusion and social justice as a teacher educator who embodies such qualities. I consider how the possibilities for finding spaces to teach within, for and about social justice—for {\textquoteleft}doing teacher education differently{\textquoteright}—are being increasingly squeezed in Australia by prescriptive teaching standards reducing teaching to technocratic skills. I draw from data expressing joy at being on the margins and examine joyfulness as a generative pedagogical space using Berlant{\textquoteright}s {\textquoteleft}cruel optimism{\textquoteright} concept.",
