ABSTRACT
Sexuality is not a discrete domain. It shapes and is shaped by all the surrounding relations. Indeed, it is difficult to know where sexuality begins or ends. This chapter employs feminist new materialist thinking to rethink the purpose and structure of concluding chapters of research-based books. Continuing the thread of feminist new materialist thought that weaves throughout this book, this chapter takes up Barad's idea that, "There is nothing that is new; there is nothing that is not new". Within this sexuality education diffraction pattern, 'old' and 'new' research findings overlap so their boundary becomes indistinguishable. The notion of assemblage is employed variously by a number of thinkers drawing on ideas labelled new materialist. Those most prominently associated with this term are Deleuze and Guattari. The chapter conceptualises the research which underpins this book as another assemblage within this disciplinary field.
