Routledge LGBTQI Parented Families and Schools - Routledge Critical Studies

This Routledge book explores the lived experiences of LGBTQI+ parents and their children within school environments, examining how educational institutions support or fall short in serving these families. Drawing on empirical research and centring the voices of both parents and children, the study extends beyond earlier gay and lesbian parenting scholarship to encompass bisexual, transgender, queer, non-binary, and intersex parents. The authors analyse the broader context shaping these families' interactions with schools, including pressure groups, school inspection frameworks, legislation, and media influence. The work provides critical insights into visibility, representation, and pride within educational settings, offering valuable perspectives for educators, policymakers, researchers, and families navigating school systems. Essential reading for those seeking to understand contemporary issues in LGBTQI+ family experiences and educational inclusion.
