FIRST PRIZE WINNER of the SOCIETY FOR EDUCATIONAL STUDIES book
award 2006 "As a practising youth worker and researcher, I found
this book a fascinating and engaging read...It provides a useful
analysis and exploration of the classed and gendered 'anti-school'
ethic in place presently within many schools, and it will provide a
meaningful analysis for academics, policymakers and practitioners
and anyone with an interest in gender, education and young people."
Fin Cullen, Goldsmiths College, Review in Gender and Education"I
would [therefore] urge everyone concerned with what is happening in
schools to read this book, with its fascinating data and nuanced
arguments." Heather Mendick, London Metropolitan University -
Review in British Journal of Educational StudiesThis innovative
book looks at how and why girls and boys adopt 'laddish' behaviours
in schools. It examines the ways in which students negotiate
pressures to be popular and 'cool' in school alongside pressures to
perform academically. It also deals with the fears of academic and
social failure that influence pupils' school lives and experiences.
Drawing extensively on the voices of students in secondary schools,
it explores key questions about laddish behaviours, such as: Are
girls becoming more laddish - and if so, which girls? Do boys and
girls have distinctive versions of laddishness? What motivates
laddish behaviours? What are the consequences of laddish behaviours
for pupils? What are the implications for teachers and schools? The
author weaves together key contemporary theories and research on
masculinities and femininities with social psychological theories
and research on academic motives and goals, in order to understand
the complexities of girls' and boys' behaviours.This topical book
is key reading for students, academics and researchers in
education, sociology and psychology, as well as school teachers and
education policy makers.
