Erasure, exclusion by inclusion, and the absence of intersectionality: introducing bisexuality in education

This chapter introduces and problematizes the three impediments to sexual diversity and bisexuality in education, namely, erasure, exclusion by inclusion into gay and lesbian categories, and the absence of intersectionality (wherein other facets of identity and experience that interweave with sexuality are not taken into account, such as class, gender, Indigeneity/Aboriginality, ethnicity, geographical location, and religion). It introduces each chapter as well as reflecting on where further research is needed.
