The christmas kiss’: Sexuality, story-telling and schooling

Abstract

The article arises out of a research project concerned with sexuality and schooling. By exploring the various constructions of a pupil narrative we aim to develop an analysis of the complex meanings sexuality has in schools. The focus is on sexualised exchanges between teachers and pupils to explore the various ways sexuality is employed in schools. We draw out the complex dimensions of power in these exchanges that run through teacher/pupil relations and have a bearing on classroom practices. © 1996, Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.
