This book explores new questions and lines of analysis within the
field of 'gender and education', conveying some of the style and
diversity of contemporary research directions. It celebrates as
well as assesses the achievements of feminist work in education,
acknowledging this legacy while also 'troubling' and opening up for
critical reflection any potential stalemates and sticking points in
research trends on gender and education. The collection has a
strong cross-cultural focus, with chapters exploring experiences of
students and teachers in the UK, the US, Australia, Canada, Hawaii
and South Africa. The chapters examine topics relevant to both
boys' and girls' education and to forms of education which span
different sectors and both informal and formal spaces. Issues
examined include citizenship and belonging, affect, authority and
pedagogy, sexuality and the body, racism, and national identity and
new and emerging forms of masculinity and femininity. Across these
varied terrains, each of the authors engages with theoretical work
informed by a broad range of disciplinary and interdisciplinary
approaches from across the social sciences and humanities, drawing
variously from postcolonial, queer, and new sociological theories
of modernity and identity, as well as from fields such as cultural
geography and narrative studies. This collection of
thought-provoking essays is essential reading for scholars and
graduate students wanting to understand the current state of play
on research and theory on 'gender and education'. This book was
published in a special issue of Discourse: Studies in the Cultural
Politics of Education.
