Celebrating Sexuality: My Curriculum of Gratitude
Nuñez, Isabel
Curriculum Inquiry, v51 n3 p350-365 2021
I feel more gratitude for the curriculum of my sexuality than for my learning in any other area of life. In this article, I explore that curriculum autobiographically, recalling the people and experiences that shaped my sexual self. While much of that learning was bodily, many of my most important teachers were the women who shaped my thinking about sexuality in person and on the page. Appreciative reflection on these women and what they taught me weaves in another area of learning: my curriculum of gratitude. Wise women, and their lessons on sexuality, are just some of the teachers of my life curriculum, considered here as "currere," the whole of my journey. I feel gratitude for them all. I believe that if more people experienced a sexual curriculum that was joyful, accepting, celebratory, judgement-free, and replete with gratitude, there would be a great deal more happiness, and even more gratitude, in the world.
