Publisher's Synopsis
This work is concerned with developing education for social justice and challenging inequalities in society. Through a series of historically-located articles ranging from personal stories, through examples of "good practice", to theoretical analyses of the interweaving of heterosexism, sexism and racism, the work traces the ways in which oppressions are constructed and played out within and through the system of schooling and through education policies. The majority of contributors are lesbian or gay activists and educators. The work should be of interest to those involved in the education system and in studying education, and to those interested in cultural studies, gender and the study of masculinity, lesbian and gay studies, sociology and women's studies.
