This talk centers queer and trans perspectives in science education. It traces the roots of scholarship on gender and sexual diversity and considers how these histories shape current research and practice. It highlights emerging work that centers queer and trans cultural praxis as a source of knowledge, pedagogy, and methodological insight in science education, and attends to how these orientations open possibilities for more life-affirming approaches to research and practice. It also identifies strategies for developing scholarship and practice that engage queer and trans ways of knowing in more sustained ways.
