Gender and Sexuality Diversity in a Culture of Limitation provides an outstanding and insightful critique of the ways that contemporary education is impacted by a range of political, social and cultural influences that inform the approaches that schools take in relation to gender and sexuality diversity. By applying feminist poststructural and Foucauldian frameworks, the book examines the ongoing impact of broader socio-cultural discourse on the lives of gender and sexuality diverse students and teachers. Beginning with an overview of the impact of how a culture of limitation is realised in Australia, the focus moves beyond this context to examine state and federal policies from comparable societies in countries including the USA and the UK and their effect on the production of knowledges and what’s permissible to include in educational curriculum. This research-driven book thus provides a comparative, international overview of the current state of gender and sexuality diversity in schools, and convincingly demonstrates that despite some empowerment of gender and sexuality diverse individuals, silencing and marginalization remain powerful forces. This book will be of great interest to graduate and postgraduate students, academics, professionals, and policy makers interested in the field of gender and sexuality in education. It is essential reading for those involved in pre-service and in-service teacher education, diversity education, the sociology of education, as well as education more generally.

How can we gain new understandings about sex, gender, and sexuality? What are the relationships between culture and gender diversity? How has the diffusion of Euro-American culture affected the sex/gender ideologies of non-European cultures? This eye-opening account of the differences in how sex/gender diversity is experienced in seven cultures raises our consciousness and challenges our intellectual understandings and attitudes about what we consider natural, normal, and morally right. Nandas examples, which reveal the complexity of social responses toward sex/gender diversity, are ethnographically well documented and represent various geographical areas and sex/gender ideologies. In classic anthropological fashion, Nandas text enables us to cross the barriers of cultural difference to a recognition of a greater shared humanity.

Download Doing Gender Diversity Book in PDF, Epub and Kindle
This cutting-edge reader demonstrates the multiple ways in which the universe of gender is socially, culturally, and historically constructed. The selections focus on gender itself - how gender operates socioculturally, exists, functions, and is presented in micro and macro interactions. In order to avoid balkanization, the authors examine the various ways in which culture intersects with individuals to produce the range of presentations of self that we call 'gender', from people born male who become adult men to lesbian women to transmen, and everyone else on the diverse gender spectrum.

Autonomy is fundamental to liberalism. But autonomous individuals often choose to do things that harm themselves or undermine their equality. In particular, women often choose to participate in practices of sexual inequality&—cosmetic surgery, gendered patterns of work and childcare, makeup, restrictive clothing, or the sexual subordination required by membership in certain religious groups. In this book, Clare Chambers argues that this predicament poses a fundamental challenge to many existing liberal and multicultural theories that dominate contemporary political philosophy. Chambers argues that a theory of justice cannot ignore the influence of culture and the role it plays in shaping choices. If cultures shape choices, it is problematic to use those choices as the measure of the justice of the culture. Drawing upon feminist critiques of gender inequality and poststructuralist theories of social construction, she argues that we should accept some of the multicultural claims about the importance of culture in shaping our actions and identities, but that we should reach the opposite normative conclusion to that of multiculturalists and many liberals. Rather than using the idea of social construction to justify cultural respect or protection, we should use it to ground a critical stance toward cultural norms. The book presents radical proposals for state action to promote sexual and cultural justice.

Gender, sex, and sexuality diversity has become more visible both culturally and legislatively in the last decade in the United States. The rights of people to not experience discrimination based on gender identity and presentation as well as to marry those of their own sex and/or gender have been legislated in a fast growing number of states and are being hotly debated throughout the country. The medical and psychological guidelines for "treating" intersex, transgender, and sexually queer individuals are evolving to become more "patient-centered." Sex, gender and sexually queer people are being talked and written about, but not often heard from. This dissertation focuses on the lived experiences of gender variant people with regard to their complex identities, their interactions both with people they know and strangers, and the macro-social structures that deny their very existence. I collected data through forty-three semi-structured interviews with transgender, genderqueer, and other gender non-conforming people as well as spending more than two years in the field. I use a grounded theory approach and find a great deal of diversity in my sample. Research participants self-identified in multiple ways placing varying levels of importance on their gender identities. Notably, the narratives through which they explain their gender journeys bear little resemblance to the transnormative "I was born in the wrong body" medicalized story. Rather, participants recognize that Western culture and institutions are currently unwilling to accommodate their lived experience. This research argues for increased knowledge of human sex diversity as ignorance of the non-binary nature of human sex is in large part what fuels cultural understandings of binary gender and sexuality. Institutional rules and norms codifying these binaries will change through activism and scholarship designed to change cultural understandings in order to accommodate empirical diversity. I argue that an important component of this change process will be taking an interdisciplinary approach to correct binary assumptions of sex, gender, and sexuality in a wide variety of research on "sex differences" as well as in clinical practice.
