A Stripped Classroom: Exotic Dancers, Sexuality, University Teaching, and Community Engagement

Carrie Jo Coaplen-Anderson

Abstract

This essay shares stories and valorizes concepts related to sexualized identities, highlighting details and reflections about exotic dancing, and Bernadette Barton's Stripped. Further, the essay contends that potentially powerful and profound pedagogy exists in exploring these, identities, and that explorations leading to developed awareness of sexually stigmatized individuals and groups may encourage student writers to become more engaged in supporting community engagement.
