Abstract

Torres’ Rights of the Learner is a strong framework for supporting students from non-dominant backgrounds to thrive in the classroom. We look at important theoretical underpinnings of Torres’ Rights of the Learner to expand the framework for the thriving of trans and queer learners. We establish the following Rights of Trans and Queer Learners: (1) the right to self-identify and be affirmed in that identity, (2) the right to be fluid and changing, (3) the right to an educated teacher, and (4) the right to queer their education. © 2024 The College of Education and Human Ecology, The Ohio State University.
