Description
The panel highlights how a sometimes subtle heteronormativity pervades the classroom leaving sexual minorities to feel isolated and ignored, and all students to be deprived of an inclusive legal education. The panel discusses how to avoid making heterocentric assumptions both in teaching materials and in law school generally. The panel will also discuss how to effectively integrate lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender issues in the core law school courses and how to deal with potential backlash from some students and colleagues.
