Against Sex Education: Pedagogy, Sex Work, and State Violence: Radical Politics and Education

Autor Caitlin Howlett
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 19 apr 2023
Winner of the American Educational Studies Association Critics' Choice Book AwardWhy do we have sex education? For whom does it exist, and who is it against? This open access book explores these questions, ultimately calling into question the very existence of sex education itself. The analysis is centred on the marginalised lives of sex workers. This focus allows us to see sex education and sex work in a new light and provides insights into the implications of sex education in public schools and teacher education. By considering the relationship between sex education and sex work, Caitlin Howlett reveals the way in which sex education exists as a form of state violence, and continues to maintain close ties to sexism, racism, colonialism, and capitalism. Drawing on Foucauldian genealogy, feminist history, epistemology, post-humanism, and queer of color critique, Howlett calls for an end to sex education as a federally funded project and argues for new pedagogical approaches to educating about sex, gender, and sexuality in schools.The ebook editions of this book are available open access under a CC BY-NC-ND 3.0 licence on bloomsburycollections.com.

Recenzii

In candid and accessible prose, Howlett explores sex workers' centrality to the development of federal sex education programs. Narratives about sex workers have secured state-sanctioned gender and sexual norms. Howlett's approach to sex education history illuminates contemporary sex-, gender-, and race-based violences against and policing of marginalized persons.
Howlett cracks open decades-long debates about policy reform for state-led sex education and offers a novel intervention; we see the fundamental violence of sex education in her tracing of the construction of the normative sexual citizen vis-à-vis the disposability of the sex worker. A much-needed call to dream about radical sexual pedagogies.
