Queer Studies and Education: An International Reader explores how the category queer, as a critical stance or set of perspectives, contributes to opportunities individually and collectively for advancing queer social justice within the context and concerns of schooling and education. The collection takes up this general goal by presenting a cross-section of international perspectives on queer studies in education to demonstrate commonalities, differences, uncertainties, or pluralities across a diverse range of national contexts and topics, drawing a heightened awareness of heterodominance and heteropatriarchy, and to conceptualize non-normative and non-essentialist imaginings for more inclusive educational environments.

Collectively, the chapters critically engage with heteronormativity and normativity more generally as a political spectrum, over a broad range of formal and informal sites of education, and against a backdrop of critiques of liberalism and neoliberalism as the frameworks through which "achievable" social change and belonging are fostered, particularly within educational settings. Taken together, the chapters assembled in Queer Studies and Education invite researchers, scholars, educators, activists, and other cultural workers to examine the multiplicity of contemporary (international) work in queer studies and education with readers' interpretations of queer's deployment across the chapters forming the compass for which to arrive at fresh insights and forms of queer critical praxis.

Louisa Allen is a Professor in the Faculty of Education and Social Work at the University of Auckland. Her scholarship spans the areas of gender, sexualities, sexuality, reproduction, and education. This work is informed by queer theory, feminist new materialism, feminist philosophy and sensory studies. To explore these areas, she employs innovative research methodologies such as visual and more recently sensory methods, including soundwalks and smellwalks. With her colleague Professor Mary Lou Rasmussen, she is currently Editor-in-Chief of the first Encyclopedia of Sexuality Education. Her most recent project is a Marsden Grant with Professor Katrina Roen, which explores experiences of shame and silence for intersex young people.

In 2021, she published a sole-authored book, Breathing Life Into Sexuality Education, which disrupts existing ideas about the nature and purpose of this curriculum. It employs scholarship from disparate disciplinary fields, including feminist philosophy, education, sound studies, geography, and anthropology to imagine the possibilities of a sensuous sexuality education pedagogy.

He is Chief Investigator on an Australian Research Council Discovery project investigating the pedagogies of gender and sexual diversity in Australian screen media and on an ARC Linkage studying the well-being aspects of gender- and sexually diverse migration.
