Research project Swedish sex education 1882-2014: Norms about sexuality in an educational historical perspective
The project Swedish sex education 1882-2014: Norms about sexuality in an educational historical perspective has been granted 4.2 million from VR. Researchers involved in the project are Professor Anne-Li Lindgren and senior lecturer Sara Backman Prytz. The project will run for four years.
That the Swedish school system has been and is inclusive, exclusive, sorted and has categorized students and parents according to class, gender, age, ethnicity, talent and disability is proven in previous research. What has not been shown before is how norms about sexuality have worked sorting and categorizing – inclusive and excluding – in the school's activities and as part of how the school should create an ideal citizen.
