Academics and professionals working with young women face a series
of paradoxes. Over the last 20 years, the lives of young women in
the UK and Europe have been transformed. They have gained
considerable freedom and independence, but at the very same time,
new, less tangible forms of constraint and subordination now play a
defining role in the formation of their everyday subjectivities and
identities. Young women have come to exemplify the pervasive
sensibility of self-responsibility and self-organisation. This new
'gender regime' demands both conceptualisation and practical
response, drawing on educational research, social and cultural
theory, and contemporary feminist thought. Within the overarching
theme of pedagogical responses to these trends, through work in
schools and within young women's online and face-to-face
communities, this book interrogates the field of sexuality and its
visualisation across new and old media in the context of often
predictable and endemic 'moral panics' about teenage pregnancy
rates, sexually transmitted diseases, and internet pornography. In
exploring how girls and young women respond to increasing
expectations of them as the vanguard of economic, social, and
cultural change, contributors to this volume interrogate the ways
in which social and educational aspiration interact with young
women's developing and embodied identities. This book was
originally published as a special issue of Pedagogy, Culture and
Society.
