| General Note |
Dr. Maria Pallotta-Chiarolli is Senior Lecturer in Social Diversity in Health and Education in the School of Health and Social Development, Deakin University, Melbourne, Australia. |
| "The first book of its kind internationally, 'Border sexualities, border families in schools' explores the experiences of bisexual students, mixed sexual orientation families, and polyamorous families in schools. For the first time, a book foregrounds the voices and experiences of students and families who are 'falling into the gaps' or are on the borders of the gay/straight divide in schools' antihomophobia policies and programs, which recognize families as meaning either heterosexual couples, or, increasingly, homosexual couples." -- Back cover. |
