Questioning Gender Politics
Questioning Gender Politics: Contextualising Educational Disparities in Uncertain Times showcases contemporary thinking on pressing aspects of gender equalities, such as patriarchal culture, sexual harassment, trans rights, queer pedagogies, and sex education in various educational settings and international contexts.
This book illustrates how education is an important physical, material and ideological site for understanding and challenging stubborn gender inequalities. Questioning Gender Politics positions itself within existing theorisations and research outlining how gender issues and sexist power cultures have in many cases changed from plain to more insidious inequalities. The notion of education is also expanded to include a broader understanding of how gender issues impinge on education. The range of work explored in this volume includes contributions on modern conceptualisations of gender, feminism and education, transnormativities, queer theory, intersectional pedagogy, postheteronormativity in education, and more.
Questioning Gender Politics: Contextualising Educational Disparities in Uncertain Times will be of great value to undergraduate and postgraduate students of Gender and Education, as well as seasoned educators.
