Overview
- Though others have interviewed lesbian and gay teachers from urban, suburban and rural schools, to date, research has not solely examined the experiences of the rural lesbian teacher in the English countryside.
- Through the autoethnographic methodological framework, this book offers a distinctive commentary on the nature of heteronormativity in the rural school community, demonstrating that despite equalities legislation, homophobia and heterosexism can remain unchallenged in rural areas of the UK, resulting in significant professional and personal consequences for those affected.
- This research offers an intimate first person account of the ways in which malicious allegations can impact on the professional and personal life of a teacher.
