Summary:How is queer pedagogy already being performed in a Divinity school classroom? Using the work of Judith Butler and their own reflections as scholars in training, the authors describe how a queer pedagogy that refuses to split religious studies and theological studies is already at work in the Divinity classroom.

They conclude with two suggestions of queer pedagogical practice.
