Description:

An interdisciplinary reference for those who are working with or studying young people and sexuality, looking at the educational discourses with which they are commonly associated. This study furthers the research into sexuality and education by contextualizing GLBT youth in relation to broader adolescent and institutional cultures and practices.

Synopsis:

This book focuses on key contemporary discourses related to sexualities and schooling. Such discourses include: educational strategies used to support lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) students; considerations of how educators might influence students' sexual identity; narratives of risk and violence often asociated with LGBT youth; stories of salvation and protection; as well as debates relating to the 'closet' and calls to 'come out' in the classroom. People often are left out of discussions of sexualities and schooling are also incorporated in this text.
