title = "Growing sideways: Re-articulating ontologies of childhood within/through relationships and sexuality education (RSE)",
abstract = "This article presents a collaborative reflective-thinking-writing project that draws from the authors{\textquoteright} experiences of co-productive and critical inquiry with children in the field of gender, sexualities and education. Integrating our collective concerns regarding how childhood can be negatively framed and policed within/through RSE, we explore how these ontological boundaries might be queered through a collective engagement with the possibilities for/of RSE that is affirmative, playful and co-produced with, rather than for, children.",
