Education and Sexualities
No full textBoth from the point of view of the experiences of different groups of students, and also with respect to the form that education about sexuality, sex, and relationships should take, education and sexuality raises complex questions and provokes heated―sometimes furious―debate. This four-volume collection offers an authoritative overview of key issues within this rapidly developing field. Under the editorship of Peter Aggleton (editor-in-chief of the international journal, Sex Education), the collection covers a wide range of contemporary issues and concerns, including: the sexualities curriculum; ‘politics and pleasure’; classroom processes and dynamics; sexual and gender diversity in the classroom; gender and sexual violence in schools and colleges; and bullying, victimization and abuse. Special attention is also given to enduring topics, such as the content and context of sexualtiy education; the age at which it should take place; faith and religion; politics and political controversies; and the science and ethics of sexualities education
The Role of Education in Promoting Young People's Sexual and Reproductive Health
No full textThis document outlines discussions from the Expert meeting for the Safe Passages to Adulthood programme, where researchers, practitioners and policy makers explored the potential of education to protect against HIV/AIDS, as well as the possible changes needed to enable the education system to respond more adequately. This programme, co-ordinated jointly by the University of Southampton, University of London and the London School of Hygiene and Tropical medicine, researches young people’s sexual and reproductive health in poorer country settings.The good practice guide explores the challenges facing practitioners and policy-makers in resource-constrained countries who are trying to develop educational initiatives aimed at promoting the sexual and reproductive health of young people. The resource sets out good practice guidelines for work in school settings, out-of-school contexts and in higher education. These guidelines are illustrated by examples of innovative practice from across the world. After review of the objectives, design, implementation and results from programmes that span three continents, conclusions on important factors in running successful programmes are outlined. These included sharing of ideas and responsibility, active involvement of young people in the programmes, starting from a clear values base, supporting adults in their work, planning for sustainability and acknowledging and incorporating the importance of context when designing and implementing educational programmes
Working with Young Men to Promote Sexual and Reproductive Health
No full textGender is increasingly acknowledged as central to understanding young people's experiences of sexual relationships and health. This document, produced by Safe Passages to Adulthood, reports on the results of a meeting held in 2001 to discuss innovative and successful work to promote sexual and reproductive health amongst young men in developing countries, and sets out the good practice guidelines which emerged from the meeting. The good practice guide sets out: what we know about young men's experience of sexual health (informed by research done in different across the world) different approaches to working with young men (illustrated by case studies of projects in Latin America, Africa and Asia).Policy-makers, practitioners and researchers working to promote young people's sexual health in resource-constrained settings will find this resource particularly useful. It draws on research from projects in seventeen countries. Common findings included that: ideas about manliness and masculinity exert a powerful influence; young men’s sexual and reproductive health needs are neglected; and there was often considerable opposition to work with young men.The authors offer some tentative guidelines for those planning to work on sexual and reproductive health with young men. They emphasise the importance of picking up on the lessons learned from other projects, although these models are not necessarily replicable from context to context. Providers of information and services need to be trained and supported in providing appropriate youth and male-friendly services. In some cases young men benefited from working in mixed sex groups. Other recommendations include: finding alternatives to dominant masculine stereotypes; challenging homophobia; giving young men a chance to talk about their own experiences; and involving them as fully as possible in programme design and delivery

Moral Good, the Beatific Vision, and God’s Kingdom Writings by Germain Grisez and Peter Ryan, S.J.. Edited by Peter J. Weigel
No full textFor close to half a century, the work of Germain Grisez has been highly influential, and his writings continue to receive considerable attention from philosophers and theologians of diverse viewpoints. His co-author for this work is the professor and noted moral theologian Fr. Peter Ryan, S.J., currently the executive director of the Secretariat of Doctrine and Canonical Affairs of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB). These two eminent scholars explore fundamental questions about Christian eschatology, moral theory, the purpose of human life, and the promise of human fulfilment. The authors examine Christian teaching on the final destiny of persons, investigating the meaning of God's kingdom, the hope of the beatific vision, and the centrality of moral goodness and divine grace in one's final end. This work is an ideal source for students, scholars, ministers and lay persons interested in basic questions of Christian theology, the philosophy of religion, ethical theory, and Catholic doctrin
Introduction: The trouble with ‘Categories’: Rethinking men who have sex with men, transgender and their equivalents in HIV prevention and health promotion
No full textAs the HIV epidemic moves into its fourth decade, it is clear that the global response has failed to adequately address the needs of a wide range of vulnerable populations and groups. Chief among these are gay, bisexual and other men who have sex with men, and transgender persons, who globally face the disproportional burden of HIV infection. This volume rethinks HIV prevention and health promotion for sexual and gender minorities – in both the industrialised societies of the West, as well as in the developing nations of the Global South. The chapters it contains offer a critical analysis of past and present HIV research employing categories to designate gay and other men who have sex with men, transgender persons, and/or other persons and communities with diverse gender and sexual identities. Contributors question the politics of many of the existing classifications and categories in HIV research and argue for a more sophisticated analysis of gender and sexual diversity in order to tackle the social and political barriers that impede the design of successful HIV prevention and health promotion approaches. This book was originally published as a special issue of Global Public Health
