Sexuality, Gender and Schooling: Shifting

This book offers educationalists new ways of understanding the significance of sexuality and gender in young people's lives and suggests ways in which this knowledge is useful in practice. Drawing on interviews with students and teachers, the author provides innovative analysis of the links between gender and sexuality and their engagement with school processes, popular culture and the world of work and leisure.
