Congratulations to Dr Georgia Carr, Research Fellow in the Institute of Communication in Healthcare, whose first book ‘The Language of Sex Education’ has just been published by Bloomsbury Academic. 

"This book offers a deep dive into sex education pedagogy in the Australian context, taking a close look at the language used to teach the key topics of consent and respect.

It examines questions students ask, how teachers accommodate different beliefs in their classrooms, and how students learn about more values-based topics including consent, respectful relationships, and gender and sexuality diversity. It also considers what teaching and assessment looks like over the course of a school term and what makes a 'successful' student. In short it answers the question – how is sex education actually taught?"

'The Language of Sex Education, With Respect to Consent', is available here.
