Sheila Cavanagh examines the moral and professional panic over sexual transgressions in the educational milieu by analyzing several sensationalized legal cases, including Mary Kay Letourneau, Amy Gehring, and Heather Ingram. Deploying queer theory, psychoanalysis, postcolonial theory, and feminist film theory, Cavanagh analyses deep-seated anxieties about white female teacher sexualities and offers a critique of the damage that gets done in the name of child protectionism. Arguing that foundational assumptions about race, gender, class, sexuality, and family are all central to the panic, Cavanagh questions the conventional wisdom and politics governing our conceptualization of sex scandals in education. She also demonstrates that public upset over female teacher sexual transgressions, ostensibly about child welfare, is also about the regulation of gender, heteronormative, and white reproductive futures: a hidden curriculum in Western educational systems. Timely, original, and controversial, Sexing the Teacher will appeal to scholars and students in education, sociology, gender, sexuality, and cultural studies, as well as to general readers interested in the sensationalism over school sex scandals that has dominated recent headlines.Sexuality studies series.Women teachersSexual behaviorChild sexual abuse by teachersSexually abused boysTeacher-student relationshipsQueer theoryFeminist film criticismWomen teachersSexual behavior.Child sexual abuse by teachers.Sexually abused boys.Teacher-student relationships.Queer theory.Feminist film criticism.371.7/8Cavanagh Sheila L(Sheila Lynn),1969-1523736MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910780520503321Sexing the teacher3764040UNINA
