Mollie V. Blackburn is an Associate Professor in the School of Teaching and Learning in the College of Education and Human Ecology and co-coordinator of the Sexuality Studies Program. Her most recent research projects include a teacher inquiry project with a group of teachers committed to combating heterosexism and homophobia in classrooms and schools and a book discussion group with those teachers' students who come together to read and discuss LGBT-themed young adult literature. She has also studied the ways local LGBTQ youth experience gender rules and regulations in schools. In her dissertation research, she focused on the ways LGBTQ youth used literacies and language to work for social change in and beyond schools. Her scholarship received the Ralph C. Preston Award for dissertations that work for social justice and the Alan C. Purves Award for articles in the
Research in the Teaching of English that are deemed rich with classroom implications. In addition to the
Research in the Teaching of English, her work has been published in journals such as
Teachers College Record, the
Journal of Adolescent and Adult Literacy, and the
Journal of Gay and Lesbian Issues in Education, among others.
