Review

'Rasmussen's book contributes to and builds on existing work within the field of sexuality and schooling by providing alternatives to binary theorising of hetero/homo, in-or-out, safety and risk ... The theoretical underpinning of the book will surely inform and guide a great deal of future research in the field, as it is brimming with rich ideas.' - Gender and Education
