Booknews

Discusses the monitoring and control of students' and teachers' sexuality as exercises of power in education, examining changing theories about sexuality, and their effect on teachers, students, and institutional policies. Middleton (education, U. of Waikato, Hamilton, NZ) mediates a Foucaultian approach through her feminist perspective, preserving a belief in human agency in the face of social and institutional exercise of power.
