| Abstract: |
Research shows that introductory courses in college provide an opportunity to invoke transformative learning, enhance students' ability to take the role of the 'other,' and encourage an authentic learning experience (Mezirow ). Few studies, however, have examined transformative approaches wherein students examine heterosexist ideologies. This study introduces a teaching strategy using a guided imagery script designed to challenge students' previously-held ideas about heterosexism and homophobia. Using data from students enrolled in introductory sociology course offered at a major university in the West, this study presents qualitative data on students' emotional and intellectual responses to the guided imagery. The authors offer this guided imagery exercise as an effective teaching tool. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
