Abstract

This Prologue offers a glance of the current situation in Ibero-America that makes it socially and politically crucial to encourage and circulate reflections such as the ones represented in this volume. It argues for the current importance of addressing what are queer practices in educational contexts, considering the current scenario of conservative backlash against sexual and gender diversity in education, and also defends the importance of foregrounding the rich theoretical work produced in the region.
