Opis

A path-breaking study of the role played by language in the construction of sexual identities in schools.

Recenzje

'An outstanding piece of scholarship. Her meticulous, queer linguistically informed analyses of communicative practices in educational contexts reveal graphically that sexuality-related discrimination and invisibility still form harmful discourses that systematically affect learners and learning in negative ways. A seminal text for queer applied linguistics and an important addition to the field of language and sexuality studies.' Heiko Motschenbacher, Western Norway University of Applied Sciences, Bergen
