The Millennium Development Goals aim to achieve basic education
for all by 2015. But can such global agendas address national and
local gender inequalities and will they empower women through
education?
This thought-provoking book offers an opportunity to engage
critically with existing and emergent conceptual frameworks and
methodological approaches to this global debate. It is divided into
three sections that:
reconceptualise the definitions of gender equality used by
various social scientific disciplines, international organisations
and policy makers;
illustrate the methodologies used to collect the voices of young
men and women and their teachers telling stories of their success
in lifting the burdens of poverty and negotiating traditional
gender relations;
trace the impact of global gender agendas on national education
policies, such as citizenship education, poverty reduction
strategies, and feminist activism around adult women s
learning.
Gender Education and Equality in a Global Context is an
invaluable introduction to the range of conceptual frameworks and
innovative research methods that address issues of gender education
and development.
