Gender and Sexuality Diversity in a Culture of Limitation provides
an outstanding and insightful critique of the ways that
contemporary education is impacted by a range of political, social
and cultural influences that inform the approaches that schools
take in relation to gender and sexuality diversity. By applying
feminist poststructural and Foucauldian frameworks, the book
examines the ongoing impact of broader socio-cultural discourse on
the lives of gender and sexuality diverse students and teachers.
Beginning with an overview of the impact of how a culture of
limitation is realised in Australia, the focus moves beyond this
context to examine state and federal policies from comparable
societies in countries including the USA and the UK and their
effect on the production of knowledges and what's permissible to
include in educational curriculum. This research-driven book thus
provides a comparative, international overview of the current state
of gender and sexuality diversity in schools, and convincingly
demonstrates that despite some empowerment of gender and sexuality
diverse individuals, silencing and marginalization remain powerful
forces. This book will be of great interest to graduate and
postgraduate students, academics, professionals, and policy makers
interested in the field of gender and sexuality in education. It is
essential reading for those involved in pre-service and in-service
teacher education, diversity education, the sociology of education,
as well as education more generally.
Highlighting the voices less commonly showcased to the public -
voices of young people, parents, and social and health
practitioners - this book comments on gender and sexuality in the
contexts of formal and informal education, peer cultures and
non-conformity, social sustainability and equal rights. At a time
of mounting conservatism globally - when broader issues of equity
and justice around sexuality and gender in education and health
have come under attack - it is critical that health workers, social
service practitioners and educators share approaches, stories, and
data across these spaces to advocate for informative, inclusive
approaches to sex, gender and sexuality education in an effort to
speak back to the conservative voices which currently dominate
policy spaces. This book was originally published as a special
issue of Sex Education.
