"Invaluable and brilliant. Elizabeth Meyer's user-friendly book combines a comprehensive overview of theory and research alongside compelling illustrations of problems and practical solutions regarding gender and sexual diversity in schools. Anyone who works in or with schools should read this book ... and then act on it."

Peter Lang (2014)
This volume explores how gender and sexuality identities and differences get constructed through the process of education and "schooling". Educational institutions and educators play an important role in normalizing gender and sexuality differences by disciplining, regulating, and producing differences in ways that are «intelligible» within the dominant or hegemonic culture. Educational institutions have been set up to normalize the construction of gender and sexual identities in these ways, and this is both the overt and the "hidden" curriculum of schooling. At the same time, the postmodern times in which we live are characterized by a proliferating of differences so that the binary oppositional borders that have been maintained and policed through schooling, and that are central to maintaining highly inequitable power relations and rigid gender roles, are being challenged, resisted, and in other ways profoundly destabilized by young people today.
The American Educational Research Association (AERA) issued a new report titled Prevention of Bullying in Schools, Colleges, and Universities: Research Report and Recommendations.

The report’s release coincides with the association’s 94th Annual Meeting in San Francisco, where more than 15,000 education researchers are gathered to discuss research findings.
