Leaders in Gender and Education
Intellectual Self-Portraits
Series: - Leaders in Educational Studies, Volume: 4
Gender studies are a key lens through which education has been examined in the past forty years, having become an accepted and popular subfield in educational foundations studies. Moreover, scholars in gender and education have made tremendous contributions well beyond education, influencing humanities and social sciences scholars across the academy. Hearing the stories of these scholarsâtheir development, education, important works, and thoughts on the futureâoffers unique insights into the genesis and growth of the field and gives new scholars an overview of advances made.
Leaders in Gender and Education: Intellectual Self-Portraits does just that, showing the history of gender and education through the eyes of 16 of its leaders. By recounting their experiences and scholarly work, they trace the development of feminist and profeminist research on girls, on boys, and on the issues shaping both gender and educationâissues like race, sexuality, neoliberalism, globalization, and more. Importantly, the volume has a global focus, including scholars from the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, and Australia. This diversity gives readers a broad sense of the progress of gender scholarship in education around the world.
Each essay provides students and researchers alike with not only background on the 16 scholars included, but also the lists of major worksâchosen by contributors themselvesâdirect readers to some of the most important scholarship on gender and education. Taken together, further, the contributorsâ thoughts on the future of the field provide glimpses of productive directions for studies of gender and education.
