This chapter reflects a series of conversations among three English professors at Mills College, a women's liberal arts institution in Oakland, California. Teaching at Mills has challenged to reconsider how teachers think about gender diversity in their classrooms. The chapter shows how these shifts in their thinking have led them to more inclusive pedagogies and new and generative readings of familiar texts. It examines teacher's mis-steps in response to their increasingly transgender classrooms, some of their inelegant solutions to them. The chapter explores how teachers have made to work toward more aware and thoughtful pedagogies in their instructional practices and reading strategies. It discusses what teachers mean by 'inclusive' pedagogies and, more specifically, 'trans-aware' pedagogies. The chapter explains teacher's individual and institutional engagements with the trans-pedagogical project. It explains specific examples of, and musings on, the ways in which trans-awareness changed our students' readings of eighteenth-century texts and their contexts, from Charlotte Charke to Jupiter Hammon and Jane Austen. © 2014 Ana de Freitas Boe, Abby Coykendall and contributors.
