Questioning Gender Politics: Contextualising Educational Disparities in Uncertain Times

Research output: Book/ReportBookpeer-review

Abstract

Education and schooling continue to be a very important site where gender relations and gender politics take place (Mac an Ghaill, 1994; Mac an Ghaill, 1996; Haywood and Mac an Ghaill, 1996; Lesko, 2000; Renold, 2005; Ringrose and Renold, 2012; Mendes et al., 2022). This book explores the role of education amidst persisting gender inequalities within educational sectors. By referring to gender politics in education, the aim of the book is to illustrate chapter by chapter the alternative ways of interpreting and explaining what goes on in education; therefore, the chapters are prisms through which we gaze at a politics in education which is characterised by myriad gendered disparities. Yet, it is also important to point to how education in this book is wide-ranging, not just contained within schools. The approach to politics in this book is revisiting established concepts and relations that we traditionally associate with education to demonstrate how disparities and disadvantages can allow us to see both where gender frictions, tensions, and inequalities are and where educational implications are located in the issues identified by contributors.
