This book uses an intersectional approach to explore the ways in
which girls and adults in school systems hold multiple realities,
negotiate tensions, cultivate hope and resilience, resist
oppression, and envision transformation. Rooted in the voices and
lived experiences of girls and educators, Brinkman, Brinkman and
Hamilton document girl-led activism within and outside schools, and
explore how adults working with girls can help contribute toward
them thriving. Girls' narratives are considered through an
intersectionality framework, in which gender identity, race,
ethnicity, social class, sexual orientation, and other aspects of
social identity intersect to inform girls' lived experiences.
Exploring data and interviews collected over a 15-year period, the
authors set out a three-part structure to outline how girls engage
in strategies to enact resilience, resistance, and transformation.
Part one reconceptualizes traditional definitions of resilience and
documents girls' experiences of oppression within schools,
identifying common stereotypes about girls and examining the
complexity of girls' "choices" within systems that they do not feel
they can change. Part two highlights girls' active resistance to
stereotypes, pressures to conform, and interpersonal and systemic
discrimination, from entitlement of their boy peers to experiences
of sexualization in school. Part three illuminates pathways for
educational transformation, creating new possibilities for
educational practices. Offering a range of pedagogies, policies,
and practices educators can adopt to engage in systemic change,
this is fascinating reading for professionals such as educators,
counsellors, social workers, and policy makers, as well as
academics and students in social, developmental, and educational
psychology.
