From Rage to Love: "Travesti"-Centred Education in Argentina
Sex Education: Sexuality, Society and Learning, v23 n3 p263-270 2023
This article derives from a five-year collaborative engagement in which we intermittently visited Mocha Celis, a community-based high school programme in Buenos Aires. We seek to illustrate how, by centring "travesti"/trans experiences, some of Mocha Celis's practices align with Quinlivan's notion of an 'epidemic of love'. By doing this, we hope to extend Quinlivan's focus on sexualities education by showing the impact centring "travesti" people as part of this work may have, not only for "travesti"/trans individuals, but also for the overall educational project. Quinlivan's 'epidemic of love' and her engagement with Muñoz's queer utopias help us extend the idea of unruly sexualities education research -- from a transformative space emergent from the hatred and dismissal faced by "travestis" into a school into a place of love and acceptance through difference. Quinlivan's work helps us in the quest to identify the ever present, even if limited, spaces in which transformative change may occur.
