" From concerns over the bullying of LGBTQ youth and battles over sex education to
the regulation of sexual activity and the affirmation of queer youth identity, sexuality
saturates the school day. Rather than understand these conflicts as an interruption
to the work of education, Jen Gilbert explores how sexuality comes to bear on and
to enliven teaching and learning. Gilbert investigates the breakdowns, clashes, and
controversies that flare up when sexuality enters spaces of schooling. Education must
contain the volatility of sexuality, Gilbert argues, and yet, when education seeks
to limit the reach of sexuality, it risks shutting learning down. Gilbert penetrates
this paradox by turning to fiction, film, legal case studies, and personal experiences.
What, she asks, can we learn about school from a study of sexuality? By examining
the strange workings of sexuality in schools, Gilbert draws attention to the explosive
but also compelling force of erotic life in teaching and learning. Ultimately, this
book illustrates how the most intimate of our experiences can come to shape how we
see and act in the world. "
