Teaching While Queer is a bold, unfiltered podcast at the intersection of queerness, education, and resistance.

If you’ve ever felt isolated in your classroom, silenced by policy, burned out by “inclusion” that’s all talk, or unsure how to survive and stay authentic in education—this podcast is for you.

Hosted by Bryan Stanton (they/them)—award-winning educator, theatre pedagogy scholar, and founder of the Teaching While Queer movement—each episode centers real stories from LGBTQ+ educators navigating book bans, identity erasure, gender-affirming teaching, burnout, institutional harm, and the radical act of staying.

You’ll hear conversations with teachers, professors, counselors, administrators, artists, and organizers who are:

• Teaching truth in hostile systems
• Building inclusive classrooms without self-sacrifice
• Reclaiming joy, rest, and collective care
• Refusing to disappear

This podcast isn’t about fitting in.

It’s about staying, surviving, and changing the system anyway.
