Description
The modern gender order is undergoing significant changes in Western societies. Education has become a key site for exploring these shifts, with schools attempting to reconcile social and cultural transformations through teaching and learning practices. Education and Masculinities examines the main approaches to education and masculinities within the broader context of sex and gender relations. The book considers how masculinity is being redefined in response to local and global changes in society, including issues of inequality across class and ethnicity. The authors explore various aspects of education and masculinities, including representation, identity, cultural difference, and forms of power connected to social divisions and cultural differences. This critical yet constructive analysis provides a nuanced understanding of gender relations across educational sites.
