This anthology offers insights into how Canadian schools have historically sought to regulate and discipline sexuality--through sexual education classes, in teacher-student relationships, in curriculum and pedagogy, and every-day practices. Sex in Schools starts from the perspective that sexuality is socially constructed and is shaped by power relations. The authors explore the links between sexual regulation and other forms of social organisation--gender, sexual orientation, age, class and race--demonstrating how normal sexuality is created, reproduced and contested. From historical to contemporary examples, Sex in Schools explores over 150 years of Canadian education and sexual regulation.An Our Schools/Our Selves book.
