Acknowledgements

I would like to gratefully acknowledge the support of the editors of Gender and Education, Debbie Epstein, Mary Jane Kehily and Emma Renold, in helping me with the production of this special issue, particularly Emma who gave me unflagging support and belief that things would eventually come together! I would also like to acknowledge Deborah Youdell’s assistance in handling some of the email communications regarding the special issue. Finally, I extend a huge thanks to Miriam David for her invaluable comments and feedback on this introduction.

Notes

1. The core conference organising team included Deborah Youdell, Heidi Mirza and Veena Meetoo, and I would like to gratefully acknowledge their help and support in planning and running the conference. Special thanks also go to Elaine Unterhalter and Miriam David for their assistance during the conference in chairing keynote and plenary panel sessions, and to members of the IOE Gender and Sexuality in Education Special Interest Group, who reviewed conference abstracts.

2. Unfortunately, Grace Livingstone felt unable to contribute a paper to the special issue, in part due to the traumatic experience she suffered in relation to the conference. Although understandable, we greatly regret the absence of her paper.
