This book draws upon contemporary Irish and international research
which explores the critical interplay between education studies and
sexualities. Scholars from Ireland, Canada, Spain, the U.K. and
Sweden employ the conceptual lens of Queer Theory to interrogate
and destabilise long-standing regimes of truth/knowledge, and in so
doing, highlight the suitability and applicability of this
theoretical perspective within educational discourses. By reframing
and repositioning gender identity/expression as a performative
expression on a fluid continuum, this book provokes readers to
(re)view how they see education, pedagogy and schooling. The book
interrogates what happens to teaching, and teachers, when queerness
permeates their practice, thus exposing the ways in which
heteronormativity informs and shapes our places/sites of education.
This book was originally published as a special issue of the Irish
Educational Studies journal.

This focused case study analyses the roots of super-diversity in a
place where immigration is an emerging phenomenon, Northwestern
Spain (Galicia). It is characterized by a mostly rural population,
an aging demographic, and a historically depressed economy. Yet the
region has recently experienced a significant increase in
immigration - a reversal of the region's historically pronounced
trend of emigration. To understand immigration in its early stages,
this book takes a historical approach that focuses on diversities
that go beyond nationality. It explores local yet international
phenomena such as different patterns of return migration,
transnational community and familial relationships, and niche
labour markets. The book takes a broad interdisciplinary
perspective, drawing on sociology, anthropology, history,
sociolinguistics, literature, and education, to provide a detailed
case study analysis. While the case is specific, many other
geographic regions will share some of the factors the book
explores. Understanding how these factors interact will provide a
useful point of contrast for analysing them in a range of other
international contexts.
Based on an extended ethnographic study of a dual language
(Spanish-English) Kindergarten, this book takes a critical look at
children's linguistic (and non-linguistic) interactions and the
ways that teaching design can help or hinder language development.
With a focus on official "Spanish time", it explores the particular
challenges of supporting the minority language use as well as the
teacher's strategies for doing so. In bilingual classrooms,
teachers' goals include bilingualism as well as academic
achievement for all. The children may share these interests, but
have their own agendas as well. This book explores the linguistic
and social interactions that may help, or hinder, these multiple
and sometimes conflicting agendas. How can teachers design
educational practice that takes into consideration broader forces
of language hegemony as well as children's immediate interests?
Sexuality Matters brings together scholars from a variety of
epistemological perspectives to explore the multiple ways in which
sexuality does indeed matter in the arena of public education. This
book is arranged into three main thematic areas: Policy and
Activism, Curriculum and Pedagogy, and Identity and Lived
Experiences, each of which explores specific ideas and challenges
found within the corresponding topic. The special features of this
collection include a focus on the implications of sexuality for
educational leadership as well as a multi-perspectival approach to
the exploration of these concerns. This text will prove to be
especially useful both to scholars who prepare future educational
leaders and to practitioners who are seeking ways to deal with the
complex social realities of their communities.
