Emerging from a transnational framework, this book offers a global perspective on gender, sex and race research in education across global north and south. Drawing upon pedagogical, programmatic, and activist work with respect to challenging inequalities and injustices for young people, the authors interrogate the dominant discourses of sexuality, gender and race.
