The Handbook of Gender and Education brings together leading
scholars on gender and education to provide an up-to-date and
broad-ranging guide to the field. It is a comprehensive overview of
different theoretical positions on equity issues in schools. The
contributions cover all sectors of education from early years to
higher education; curriculum subjects; methodological and
theoretical perspectives; and gender identities in education. Each
chapter reviews, synthesises and provides a critical interrogation
of key contemporary themes in education. This approach ensures that
the book will be an indispensable source of reference for a wide
range of readers: students, academics and practitioners. The first
section of the Handbook, Gender Theory and Methodology, outlines
the various (feminist) perspectives on researching and exploring
gender and education. The section critiques the notion of gender as
a category in educational research and considers recent trends,
evident especially in the gender and underachievement debates, to
locate gender difference solely within biology. This section
provides the broad background upon which the issues and debates in
the other sections can be situated. Section two, Gender and
Education, considers the differing ways in which gender has been
shown to impact upon the opportunities and experiences of
pupils/students, teachers and other adults in the different sectors
of education. It also includes a chapter on single-sex schooling.
Section three, Gender and School Subjects, comprises chapters that
cover gender issues within the teaching and learning of particular
school subjects (for example, maths, literacy, and science). It
also includes topics such as sex education and assessment. The
chapters in section four, Gender, identity and educational sites,
address up-to-date issues which have a long history in terms of
explorations into gender and educational opportunities. More recent
inclusions in the debates, such as disability, sexuality, and
masculinities are discussed alongside the more traditional concerns
of 'race', social class and femininities. The final section,
Working in Schools and Colleges, illuminates the working lives of
teachers and academics. The chapters cover such topics as school
culture, career progression and development, and the gendered
identities of professionals within educational institutions. The
contributors to this book have been selected by the editors as
authorities in their specific area of gender and education and are
drawn from the international scholarly community.
