Beschreibung
This book provides readers with the opportunity to go beyond anecdote and supposition in order to get a fuller grasp of research around Catholic education and LGBTQ+ matters. This is an edited collection of chapters which explores LGBTQ+ matters in relation to Catholic education. Although the field of Catholic Education Studies has grown exponentially over the past two decades, little if any attention has been published specifically about the place of LGBTQ+ students (and teachers) in the context of Catholic education. This edited book presents the various strands of research about Catholic education and LGBTQ+ inclusion. More specifically, this edited book of chapters addresses a number of broader themes including:
• Is it possible for Catholic education to sit in harmony with the concerns of LGBTQ+ inclusive education?• What does it mean to ‘queer’ education at all? How does this sit in relation to Catholic perspectives on the purpose of Catholic education?
• When it comes to LGBTQ+ issues in relation to Catholic education, what is the research agenda?
• How might Catholic schools move beyond a ‘pastoral accommodation’ approach to LGBTQ+ students?
• What does the evidence from research in Catholic schools indicate? Are they places of inclusion, hospitality, and welcome for LGBTQ+ young people?

“‘Queer Thriving in Catholic Education: Going Beyond the Pastoral Paradigm for LGBTQ + Inclusion,’ edited by Sean Whittle and Seán Henry, is an essential, and timely contribution. … Each author offers different insights … and each offering alternative ways in which LGBTQ + inclusion in Catholic schools can and should be sites of thriving. … each of the tensions described in the book are sites of new reflections, new ways of being and doing faithful Catholic teaching and Catholic education.” (Robert McGill, Journal of Religious Education, Vol. 72 (3), 2024)
