Examining this issue through the lens of qualitative emancipatory action research, a group of Australian teachers embarked on a journey of teacher advocacy. Critical theory has long highlighted teachers as key players in either challenging dominant social narratives, or else perpetuating oppressive systems of power through traditional forms of education. Despite this important role, the life stories of teachers, which contributed to the development of their beliefs and behaviours about sexual orientation are rarely considered in the development of anti-discriminatory policy, designing the curriculum and most importantly, in teacher training. This book suggests and frames a model for advocacy, whereby teachers engage with their personal beliefs about sexual orientation, with their role as a teacher, and commit to advocacy through action by promoting student safety, challenging heteronormative narratives and role modelling compassionate behaviours in their school environments. Matthew Holt is Senior Research Advisor at the Behavioural Insights Team, UK. He is a graduate of the University of Melbourne, where he conducted the research detailed in this book for his PhD thesis. 410 0$aQueer Studies and Education,$x2946-2282 606 $aSex 606 $aEthnology 606 $aPhilosophy of mind 606 $aSelf 606 $aTeachers$xTraining of 606 $aEducational sociology 606 $aGender Studies 606 $aSociocultural Anthropology 606 $aPhilosophy of the Self 606 $aTeaching and Teacher Education 606 $aSociology of Education 615 0$aSex. 615 0$aEthnology. 615 0$aPhilosophy of mind. 615 0$aSelf. 615 0$aTeachers$xTraining of. 615 0$aEducational sociology. 615 14$aGender Studies. 615 24$aSociocultural Anthropology. 615 24$aPhilosophy of the Self. 615 24$aTeaching and Teacher Education. 615 24$aSociology of Education. 676 $a371.8266 700 $aHolt$b Matthew$01226982 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910485047103321 996 $aSexual orientation equality in schools$92848995 997 $aUNINA
