Abstract
I analyze the role of gender-sex-sexuality in school
policies in Sweden; Canada; and Germany. Policies concerning young people’s negotiations of gender-sex-sexuality in schools draw on specific understandings of societal belonging and cohesion.
Invariably such policies are part of national discourses regarding
values and norms of gender and relationships; informed by concepts
of ethnicized belonging. Furthermore; the analysis of school policy
texts allows insights into conceptualizations of young people
and their societal role in the context of ongoing neo-liberal reconfigurations of schools and societies.
