Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book aims to change the conversation about sexuality education for adolescents, making it consistent with a democratic cultural politics that is attuned to changes in youth and popular culture. Traditional sex education is nearly obsolete; sexuality curriculum is now primarily learned through popular culture and youth culture, which teach young people what it means to be a man and a woman, gay and straight, white, black, and Latino, rich and poor - and what sexuality has to do with it. Ultimately, this book conceptualizes democratic sexuality education as a commitment to the idea that sexuality education should affirm the right of all young people to construct their own sexual selves and relations as much as possible, so long as they are non-exploitive, consensual, and informed.

Download or read book A Critical Analysis of Sexuality Education in the United States written by Tiffani Kocsis and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-10-11 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Critical Analysis of Sexuality Education in the United States explores the development of sexuality education in North America and uses economic, legal, and psychological paradigms to identify and trace exclusionary programming and practices in schools. By analyzing legal and political documents, as well as state and private curricula, this insightful text considers the historical and contemporary experiences of adolescents in connection to the social structures of sexuality education. Challenging the current state of sex education in the United States, in terms of both content and delivery, the chapters succinctly illustrate how schools are failing to meet the developmental needs of all students. Student perspectives and evidence-based research demonstrate that an exclusionary curriculum is failing to equip students with the knowledge and understanding they require to undergo a process of empowerment about their sexuality, and engage in safe, informed, and consensual sexual activity. Finally, by employing a rights-based approach to sexuality education, the author offers important recommendations for change in state and federal curricula. Offering unique and comprehensive insight into the state of sex education in the United States, this text will be of great interest to graduate and postgraduate students, academics, researchers, policy-makers, and libraries in the fields of sexuality education, education policy and politics, sociology of education, gender studies, and curriculum studies.

Download or read book Schooling Sexual Cultures written by Louisa Allen and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2017-03-31 with total page 183 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Moving beyond the traditional focus on curriculum and pedagogy, this volume explores hidden dimensions of sexuality education in schools and how sexual meanings are produced. Challenging the standard understandings of sexuality education, Allen discusses how students’ knowledge of sexualities is often learnt outside the ‘official’ school curriculum in informal spaces such as the sports field, gym locker rooms and peer groups. By employing visual methods and analysing student photo-diaries, Allen’s original book captures a sexual culture of schooling that allow readers to literally ‘see through young people’s eyes.’ Introducing theoretical ideas in relation to queer theory and ‘new’ feminist new materialisms, this volume calls for a re-conceptualization of how sexuality comes into being at school, in order to take account of its material, spatial and embodied elements.
Download or read book The Education of Eros written by Dennis L. Carlson and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2012-05-22 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Education of Eros is the first and only comprehensive history of sexuality education and the “problem” of adolescent sexuality from the mid-20th century to the beginning of the 21st. It explores how professional health educators, policy makers, and social and religious conservatives differed in their approaches, and battled over what gets taught about sexuality in schools, but all shared a common understanding of the adolescent body and adolescent desire as a problem that required a regulatory and disciplinary education. It also looks the rise of new social movements in civil society and the academy in the last half of the 20th century that began to re-frame the “problem” of adolescent sexuality in a language of rights, equity, and social justice. Situated within critical social theories of sexuality, this book offers a tool for re-framing the conversation about adolescent sexuality and reconstructing the meaning of sexuality education in a democratic society.
Download or read book LGBTQ Youth Physical Education and Sexuality Education written by Dillon Landi and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 283 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this thesis, I examine the affective experiences of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) youth in physical and sexuality education. In so doing, I draw on curriculum and new materialist theories to explore the ways in which particular events influenced the lives of LGBTQ students and their senses of self. As part of a five-month ethnography with LGBTQ youth, I asked questions about their experiences in school-based health and physical education. I wanted to address the prime research question: How do LGBTQ youth perceive that they are affected by physical and sexuality education, and how do they perceive to generate affect in physical and sexuality education? The above question was explored using a (new) materialist and critical ethnographic lens, with an LGBTQ support group named QueerTEENS. The majority of data used for this project was generated using ethnographic interviews with 60 LGBTQ youth between the ages of 13 and 25. The youth ranged in LGBTQ identities including, but not limited to, queer, gay, lesbian, transmasculine, transfeminine, and bisexual. In order to explore the experiences of the LGBTQ youth, I drew on curricular and new materialist theories. The findings suggest that as an academic subject, health and physical education consistently oscillates between moments of stasis and change. In particular, the curricular aligned practices tend to striate practices to reproduce traditional notions of health, gender, and sexuality. These traditional practices may also limit the expressions of LGBTQ youth in schools. Despite this, LGBTQ students are constantly affecting the field of health and physical education by influencing teachers,curriculum, and practices to shift to be more inclusive. As a result, the field is forced to swing toward moments of transformation in order to stay relevant with youth culture. This thesis then, explores the complex potential of health and physical education to reinforce normative discourses while also affecting change in schools.
Download or read book Creating Cultures of Consent written by Laura McGuire and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2021-03-05 with total page 133 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With conversations about sexual violence, consent, and bodily autonomy dominating national conversations it can be easy to get lost in the onslaught of well-intended but often poorly executed messages. Through an exploration of research, scholarly expertise, and practical real-world application we can better formulate an understanding of what consent is, how we create consent cultures, and where the path forward lies. This book is designed with both educators and parents in mind. The tools highlighted throughout help adults unlearn harmful narratives about consent, boundaries, and relationships so that they can begin their work internally through modeling and self-reflection. We then uncover what consent truly is and is not, how culture plays an integral role in interpersonal scripting, and how teaching consent as a life skill can look in and out of the classroom. By integrating the need for consent to be taught in schools and homes we build bridges between the spaces where children learn and create alliances in the often-daunting task of eradicating rape-culture. This book is perfect for those already comfortable and familiar with this topic as well as those newer to understanding consent as a paradigm. Starting with a strong historical and research-informed foundation the book builds into action-oriented guidelines for conversations, curriculum, and community activism. This blended approach creates a guidebook that is unlike anything else on the market today.

Download or read book The Politics of Pleasure in Sexuality Education written by Louisa Allen and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-12-17 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pleasure and desire have been important components of the vision for sexuality education for over 20 years. This book argues that there has been a lack of scrutiny over the political motivations that underpin research supportive of pleasure and desire within comprehensive sexuality education. In this volume, key researchers in the field consider how discourses related to pleasure and desire have been taken up internationally. They argue that sexuality education is clearly shaped by specific cultural and political contexts, and examine how these contexts have shaped the development of pleasure’s inclusion in such programs. Via such discussions, this volume incites a re-configuration of thought regarding sexuality education’s approach to pleasure and desire.
Download or read book Youth Sexualities written by Susan Talburt and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2018-06-08 with total page 592 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These volumes offer an in-depth analysis of youth sexualities as they shape and are shaped by public feelings and by American social, cultural, and political contexts. The idea of youth sexuality makes many adults anxious, but sexuality is a very real part of youth and is the subject of many important social issues. Society now increasingly, sometimes grudgingly, recognizes youth as sexual actors; this collection examines contradictory public feelings related to youth sexualities, including perennial and new topics such as sex education, sexting, teen mothers, masculinities, sexualization, popular culture, the increasing visibility of LGBTQ youth, and the digital world. The contributors examine the back-and-forth of adult and institutional concerns, policies, and practices as they both govern and are influenced by youths' sexual subjectivities, identities, actions, and activism. The first volume historicizes "official knowledge" and cultural constructions of youth sexualities; offers examples of the "framing" of youth through research, film, the media, and transnational NGOs; and foregrounds youths' experiences of sexuality in everyday life. The second volume considers adult and youth activism. Through first-person and analytical accounts, the book offers multiple perspectives of ways in which adult professionals, such as youth workers and researchers, can work side-by-side with youth rather than "above" or "in front of" them.
