It could be argued that little has changed. Gender Lessons takes an in-depth look at how schools institutionalize gender—how kids are taught the rules and expectations of performing masculinity and femininity. This work provides extensive examples of how elementary, middle, and high schools: sextype; defend and preserve patriarchy; weave gendered expectations in all things school related; promote inequity; and limit their students’ potential by explicitly and implicitly teaching that they must fit into only one of two boxes…“girl” or “boy.” Richardson argues that schools—a powerful and wide reaching publicly funded mechanism—should be engaged in social (re)imagination that disbands the antiquated girl/boy and feminine/masculine binary so that kids might have a chance at being themselves. This book is sure to provoke conversation in courses and professional communities interested in education, gender studies, social work, sociology, counseling and guidance.“In the 1970s, feminists fought to reform sexist school curricula and challenged taken-for-granted tracking of boys and girls. | 出版日期 | Book 2015 | 关键词 | Education; Gender; Heteronormativity; K-12 schools; Patriarchy | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-94-6300-031-4 | isbn_ebook | 978-94-6300-031-4 | copyright | SensePublishers-Rotterdam, The Netherlands 2015 |
