Pedagogies of Possibility for Negotiating Sexuality Education with
Young People offers a sustained and critical consideration of the
possibilities and politics of engaging with young people in the
redevelopment and delivery of contemporary approaches to Sexuality
Education. Drawing on research undertaken as part of an Australian
Research Council (ARC) Linkage grant, this book explores the
affordances, tensions and challenges of participatory methodologies
and pedagogies that authorize young people's perspectives and
visions for Sexuality Education. Foregrounded are the
contradictions between what young people want to learn more about
and the risky forms of praxis that are necessary to engage with
various understandings of Sexuality Education and the important
role of adult allies in supporting young people to navigate these
contradictions. Each chapter chronicles and captures both adult
allies and young people's experiences of the project by drawing on
data produced through visual-arts based methods and various
ethnographic techniques, such as participant observation, focus
group interviews, and guided conversations.
Everyone knows what intoxication and drunkenness are, what they
look like, how to define and measure them and what their
consequences are. At least we might assume so given the ways these
words are used by the media, by politicians and policy makers and
by various medical, educational and legal experts in Australia and
around the world. A whole variety of concerns about young people,
individual and public health, road safety, sexual assault and
violence are connected to these taken-for-granted understandings of
intoxication and drunkenness. Drawing on an extensive review of
research from biomedicine, psychology, sociology and legal studies,
and from news media reporting, the authors reveal a far more
complex picture. This is a picture marked by little agreement on
how to define intoxication and drunkenness, how to measure
intoxication, what getting drunk means to those who drink
(including young people, men and women and people from different
cultural and national backgrounds), and where responsibility lies
for many of the individual, social, medical and legal consequences
of intoxication and drunkenness. Smashed! presents an overview of
the history of these concerns and an extensive account of the many
meanings of intoxication and drunkenness at the start of the 21st
century. It provides a valuable resource for researchers, policy
makers, the media and members of the community who are involved in
these ongoing, often emotive, debates.
