HANDBOOK: Supporting Queer and Trans Students in Art and Design Education*

HANDBOOK is a collaborative intervention in art and design pedagogy. It offers faculty a radical rethink on how to work with queer and transgender students on their path to becoming artists and designers – from the first day of school through to seminars, studio classes, and critiques. HANDBOOK draws directly from student experiences to help faculty of all orientations bring equitable teaching practices and queer curricula into art and design classes. Queer Publishing Project is a working group of over 100 students, alumni, staff and faculty at OCAD University and beyond who identify as queer and/or transgender.

Copies of HANDBOOK are available to Faculty and Staff at OCAD U through the Faculty offices (Faculty of Art, Faculty of Design, FOLASSIS and Grad Studies). Copies can also be accessed at the OCAD U Library, the Faculty Curriculum Development Centre, and the OCADFA office. 

Students can obtain copies at ODESI and OCADSU (Student Union); copies can also be accessed at the Centre for Emerging Artists and Designers.

*This 112-page publication, edited by Anthea Black and Shamina Chherawala, is produced in a limited edition of 1200 with a gatefold letterpress cover, printed by Nick Shick and Queer Publishing Project, on Vandercook Universal and No. 4 presses. HANDBOOK is designed by Cecilia Berkovic, with illustrations by Morgan Sea, and published by Queer Publishing Project and OCAD University Publications Program.
