Using interviews and other ethnographic materials from Texas and California, School's Out explores how teachers struggle to create a classroom persona that balances who they are and what's expected of them in a climate of pervasive homophobia. Catherine Connell's examination of the tension between the rhetoric of gay pride and the professional ethic of discretion insightfully connects and considers complicating factors, from local law and politics to gender privilege. She also describes how racialized discourses of homophobia thwart challenges to sexual injustices in schools. Written with ethnographic verve, School's Out is essential reading for specialists and students of queer studies, gender studies, and educational politics.Homosexuality and educationSexual minoritiesEducationGender identitycalifornia school system.career.classroom persona.cultural studies.discretion.discrimination.education system.education.educational policy.ethnographic research.gay and lesbian teachers.gay pride.gender privilege.gender studies.labor.lgbtq community.lgbtq.lgbtqia.pervasive homophobia.politics.professional identity.realistic.school system.sexual identity.sexual injustices.sexual orientation.sexuality.social expectations.students and teachers.teachers.teaching.texas school system.Homosexuality and education.Sexual minoritiesEducation.Gender identity.371.1008664Connell Catherine1980-1644911MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910823099103321School's out3991035UNINA
