Both from the point of view of the experiences of different groups of students, and also with respect to the form that education about sexuality, sex, and relationships should take, education and sexuality raises complex questions and provokes heated sometimes furious debate. This four-volume collection offers an authoritative overview of key issues within the rapidly developing field of sexualities and education. Under the editorship of Peter Aggleton (editor-in-chief of the international journal, "Sex Education"), the collection covers a wide range of contemporary issues and concerns, including: the sexualities curriculum around the world; politics and pleasure; classroom processes and dynamics; sexual and gender diversity in the classroom; gender and sexual violence in schools and colleges; and bullying, victimization, and abuse. Special attention is also given to new and enduring topics in the area of education and sexuality, such as the perennial discussions about the content and context of sexualities education, and the age at which it should take place; faith and religion; politics and political controversies; and the science and ethics of sexualities education.

With a comprehensive introduction written by the Peter Aggleton, alongside section introductions written by a numner of well-renowened scholars within the field, "Education and Sexualities" is an essential addition to Routledge s Major Themes in Education series. It is destined to be valued by educationalists and scholars working in related areas as a vital one-stop research tool.
