Product Description
Review
'A most inspiring collection of international experiences on how to overcome homophobia in educational practice but demonstrating also how schools and universities can become kind and respectful learning environments.' --Archbishop Desmond Tutu
Product Description
How can educators deal with the widespread and virulent prejudice, discrimination, stereotyping and even violence directed against sexual minorities, particularly lesbian and gay youth and adults. This international collection presents reflections on the psychological and social processes underlying homophobia. And it offers guidance for challenging the social ill of homophobia, in the form of case studies, tested lesson plans and advice on inspiring resources. These accounts are by teachers and activists in nine countries across the world. Each describes the scenario in which they work and the effective and creative methods developed to challenge homophobia in schools and colleges. With its wide ranging recommendations and its guidance to numerous web-based and other resources, this book is essential for educators, students and learners and will interest academics. The contributors are: Barry van Driel (Belgium) Lutz van Dijk, Dawn Betteridge (South Africa) Renée DePalma and Mark Jennet; Debbie Epstein (UK) Melinda L. de Jesús and Michele Kahn (USA) Darren Lund (Canada) Peter Dankmeijer (the Netherlands) Jesús Generelo (Spain) Stefan Timmermanns (Germany) Krzysztof Zablocki (Poland)
