School policies, gender-sex-sexuality and ethnocultural re-production in Sweden, Canada, and Germany

Schmitt, Irina LU orcid (2012) p.365-381
Abstract

In this text, I analyze the role of gender-sex-sexuality in school policies in Sweden, Canada, and Germany. Policies concerning young people’s negotiations of gender-sex-sexuality in schools draw on specific understandings of societal belonging and cohesion. Invariably such policies are part of national discourses regarding values and norms of gender and relationships, informed by concepts of ethnicized belonging. Furthermore, the analysis of school policy texts allows insights into conceptualizations of young people and their societal role in the context of ongoing neo-liberal re-configurations of schools and societies.
