Call for Papers
Thematic Issue of Die Unterrichtspraxis / Teaching German
Between and Beyond er|sie: Trans and Non-binary Identities in the L2
German Classroom

Guest editors:  Katherine Kerschen; Washington University

Daniel Walter; Emory University, Oxford College

We are seeking contributions for a thematic issue of Die
Unterrichtspraxis/Teaching German titled: Between and Beyond er|sie:
Trans and Non-binary Identities in the L2 German Classroom. The goal
of this thematic issue is to shed light on the various ways that
trans- and non-binary-identities are engaged and affirmed (or not) in
the German-as-a-second language classroom and in German-language
programs – in traditional classroom settings, but also study abroad,
faculty-led international travel, and short (intensive/summer) courses
– at multiple levels of instruction and learning. In so doing, we seek
to identify common ground as well as disparities between practices,
approaches, and attitudes that affect teachers and students of all
levels, including K-12 and postsecondary and graduate programs.
Amidst current debates over gender identity and pedagogical freedom,
we hope that sharing our collective experiences will help us as we
strive to make our classrooms more inclusive spaces. We are soliciting
submissions, including full-length Research Articles (~8,000 words),
Praxis Articles (~4,000 words), Forum Articles (~2,000 words), and
Reviews of print or digital teaching materials, which engage with one
of the following three sub-topics (indicative example questions are
provided with each) in the context of teaching and learning German:
1.      The relevance of trans- and non-binary social, cultural, and
linguistic influences from the German-speaking world to the L2
classroom.
○       What linguistic trends regarding trans- and non-binary
identities are emerging in the German-speaking world today?
○       How has the greater (public) discourse around “gendering”
affected public perception of trans- and non-binary terminology?
○       How has the push for gender-neutral, gender-inclusive, or
gender-equitable language influenced public policy?
○       What are the emic perspectives from trans- and non-binary
German speakers?
2.      (Anti-) trans- and non-binary policies and their influence on
and within the L2 German classroom.
○       What hurdles do teachers in various contexts and from various
levels of instruction, particularly K-12 education, face in their
attempts to engage with trans and non-binary issues in the L2 German
classroom?
○       How has public opinion and/or activism around trans and
non-binary identities affected students’ and instructors’ expectations
for what can and cannot be taught in the L2 German classroom?
3.      Pedagogical recommendations for the L2 German classroom.
○       In what ways can trans and non-binary issues be taught and
discussed at various proficiency levels and in various contexts (e.g.,
K-12 vs post-secondary), as well as differentially addressed across
the curriculum?
○       What are best practices for engaging with our learners’
(gender) identities within the L2 classroom context?
○       How can we encourage our learners to become active
participants/stakeholders in ongoing discussions around trans and
non-binary issues in language education?
○       What role could L2 German learners play in influencing the
practices of first-language German speakers or the German-speaking
world as a whole?
