Dangerous Knowing

The essays in this text challenge conventional thinking about sexuality and pedagogy, with sections on myth-making, identity, globalization and education. A range of perspectives are brought to bear on how we position ourselves and are positioned by "master narratives" of sexuality and gender. This book is an exhilarating and important addition to the literature on sexuality and on education. An unusually international collection--with contributions on Australia, New Zealand, the Philippines, South Africa, the UK and the United States--it includes chapters written both by internationally known leaders in the field and by exciting newcomers. The book challenges conventional ways of thinking both about sexuality and about pedagogy, with sections on myth-making, identity, globalization and interventions in education. It will be a key text for undergraduate and postgraduate students of social and cultural theory, queer studies, gender and women's studies and education.
