Mary Louise Rasmussen is a Senior Lecturer in Curriculum and Pedagogy at Monash University. She is the co-editor, with Susan Talburt and Eric Rofes, of Youth andSexualities: Pleasure, Subversion and Insubordination Inand Out of Schools. Currently her research focuses on the intersections between arts, identity and public pedagogies.

'Rasmussen's book contributes to and builds on existing work within the field of sexuality and schooling by providing alternatives to binary theorising of hetero/homo, in-or-out, safety and risk ... The theoretical underpinning of the book will surely inform and guide a great deal of future research in the field, as it is brimming with rich ideas.' - Gender and Education
