The edited collection addresses the complexities, challenges—including antipathies—that continue to harm but also facilitate the progress of sexual and gender minority groups in education systems in the Caribbean.Possibility and Progress: Navigating 21st Century Education Realities for Sexual and Gender Minorities in the Caribbean is a collection of perspectives that challenge the commonly held view in academic and activist circles in the Global North that the Caribbean are dangerous and “unsafe” regions for sexual and gender minorities. Compounding this narrative is the underrepresentation of Caribbean people who do not conform to normative heterosexual patterns of behaviour or gender expression in various social domains and the reinforcement of negative stereotypes about their experiences by the media and education systems. Despites the persistence of negative stereotypes and stigma levelled against sexual and gender minorities, there are noteworthy possibilities and progress to be highlighted. The collection will cover these through the lenses of a variety of scholarly perspectives.
