      abstract = {" 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. "--},
