This article discusses the challenges of teaching sexual politics in the context of Northern Ireland. In this region, ethno-nationalism has been implicated in the constitution of sexual narratives that serve the respective ethno-nationalist struggles in the region. The interaction of sexuality with ethnicity reinforces the importance of reflecting on pedagogical practices around sensitive/controversial subjects. The article draws on a mixture of pedagogical perspectives and personal reflection to assess a set of pedagogical issues that face educators teaching in these complex contexts. While the reflections and discussions in this essay relate to a particular teaching context and subject matter, they have broader relevance in terms of the teaching of sensitive/controversial subjects.
