“This book analyzes the difficulties faced by educators in developing education practice that promotes the value of sexual diversity, unsettles heteronormativity, and effectively challenges homophobic and transphobic bullying. Its chapters relate experiences in very different national contexts, exploring the possibilities for a transformative alliance between queer activism and schools that might open pathways toward a possible utopia: that of inclusion and celebration of sexual diversity within and beyond classrooms.”
—María Victoria Carrera-Fernández, Faculty of Educational Sciences, University of Vigo, Spain, and co-author of Educación Sexual: De la Teoría a la Práctica (2009) “This impressive collection of intersectional essays draws on country-specific examples, including countries where being LGBTIQ is still illegal, to examine the spaces of hope and possibility that can occur when schools and queer social movements connect. This is a timely and important collection that foregrounds global and intersectional perspectives that will be of immense value to researchers, educators, and activists who are committed to advocacy, resistance, and social justice.”
