Reviews

From politicians to pundits to peers, we can hear homophobia normalized and routinized daily, but we can also insist that they not be what frame our experiences or our education, as is the call of Bloomfield, Fisher, and colleagues in this important new book. LGBTQ Voices in Education brings together a refreshingly diverse mix of scholars and educators from various disciplines to inspire changes that educators across grade levels and educational sessions can and should make possible for all of our students. --Kevin Kumashiro, Dean and Professor of the School of Education at the University of San Francisco, USA, and author of Against Common Sense: Teaching and Learning toward Social Justice
