Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

This article explores whether there is merit in a lesbian educator being ‘out’ in the classroom or whether her orientation should be invisible. Only part of what we teach is our content; the other part involves acting as role models and giving students more effective tools to interact in a diverse world; as such the question of ‘out’ or not begs an answer. This article is a conversation between two lesbians teaching at a rural northern college in Alberta, Canada, discussing whether to be ‘out’ or not in the classroom.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
