The Newcastle University research output collection, currently available on ePrints, will shortly be moving to a new open repository platform, Figshare. To prepare for the data migration we have paused adding new content to ePrints, and will resume once the new repository is launched. During this time you will continue to have access to ePrints (but no new content will appear). We will share updates here when available.

Abstract

In this chapter we draw upon a growing number of studies (including our own) that have been researching sexuality in a number of educational arenas that includes empiricist, culturalist and standpoint epistemologies. This chapter is the first to offer a direct critique of conventional approaches research methodology on sexuality and schooling; in other words, it highlights how our knowledge of sexuality is limited by the very methodologies we use to increase or improve our knowledge.
