“Given the accessible language usage and clear layout, Francis’ book is a welcome contribution to studies on sexual diversity in education contexts. It provides established scholars, students, and novice researchers with a critically engaged and insider’s exploration and demarcation of the challenges and possibilities for LGB youth in South African schools through a critical pedagogic approach to the schools’ curricula.” (Jacques Rothmann, Journal of LGBT Youth, November, 2017) “The book Troubling the Teaching and Learning of Gender and Sexuality Diversity in South African Education comes at a critical time in the South African context … . This book is intended for a wide audience, including educators; school administrators; education department officials; those in teacher education; gender and sexuality scholars, researchers and graduate students; or individuals working with LGBTQ nonprofit organizations.” (Percy Mdunge, Journal of Homosexuality, September, 2018) Informationen zum Autor Dennis A. Francis is a former Dean of Education and currently Professor of Sociology at Stellenbosch University, South Africa. He has published extensively in the areas of gender and sexuality diversity and schooling.          Klappentext In this book, Francis highlights the tension between inclusion and sexual orientation, using this tension as an entry to explore how LGB youth experience schooling.  Drawing on research with teachers and LGB youth, this book troubles the teaching and learning of sexuality diversity and, by doing so, provides a critical exploration and analysis of how curriculum, pedagogy, and policy reproduces compulsory heterosexuality in schools.  The book makes visible the challenges of teaching sexuality diversity in South African schools while highlighting its potential for rethinking conceptions of the social and cultural representations thereof. Francis links questions of policy and practice to wider issues of society, sexuality, social justice and highlights its implications for teaching and learning. The author encourages policy makers, teachers, and scholars of sexualities and education to develop further questions and informed action to challenge heteronormativity and heterosexism.  Zusammenfassung In this book, Francis highlights the tension between inclusion and sexual orientation, using this tension as an entry to explore how LGB youth experience schooling.  Drawing on research with teachers and LGB youth, this book troubles the teaching and learning of sexuality diversity and, by doing so, provides a critical exploration and analysis of how curriculum, pedagogy, and policy reproduces compulsory heterosexuality in schools.  The book makes visible the challenges of teaching sexuality diversity in South African schools while highlighting its potential for rethinking conceptions of the social and cultural representations thereof.
