ABSTRACT

This short concluding chapter summarises the key issues which have emerged from the research presented in preceding chapters in the book. The chapter focuses particularly upon the common global issues relating to LGBTQ+ equality and diversity in education which are discussed in the contributions, as well as key points of difference across international contexts. The chapter considers what chapters in the volume can collectively contribute to developments in theories of queer transformative space, particularly in their applications to school contexts. We also consider the potential global and local implications for educational policy and practice and how positive change may be implemented.
