| Against the Grain? Boys’ Education, Schools and Gender | |||
|
The work will evaluate the extent to which schools in Australia perpetuate gender divisions and inequality in society. It will focus on inequalities particularly in relation to male students in the school arena.Much of the discussion will be based on my own teaching experience in secondary schools for boys in New South Wales. While there is no deliberate intent on the part of schools to perpetuate gender divisions and inequalities, this does infact occur because schools are not operating in a vacuum but are an integral part of the larger society which they mirror. |
