Sex education is an integrated aspect of Swedish secondary school and referred as a particular knowledge content by the Swedish Agency of Education. The aim of this four-year study is to examine how sex education is taught, experienced and can be developed as part of a variety of school subjects. We will explore how sex education is enacted in particular school subjects from a subject didactical perspective, but also how it works in collaboration across subjects from an interdisciplinary perspective.
