Sexuality, gender, citizenship and social justice: education’s queer relations
chapter
posted on 2016-01-01, 00:00 authored by M L Rasmussen, R Cover, P Aggleton, Daniel MarshallDaniel MarshallRasmussen, Cover, Aggleton and Marshall provide a critical examination of sexual citizenship, by exploring key conceptual ideas that often underpin commonplace understandings of sexuality, citizenship and social justice, and trying to unsettle them. The chapter then explores how curriculum reform intersects with debates about sexual citizenship and social justice in education. The authors then turn to some of the critiques of educational reforms associated with citizenship discourses in the area of disability, religion and what Quinn and Meiners term ‘gay wins’. The chapter concludes with some provocations for future research related to sexuality education, education and belonging that purposefully eschews ‘citizenship’.
