Affect And The Making Of The Schoolgirl: A New Materialist Perspective On Gender Inequity In Schools (Routledge Critical Studies In Gender And Sexuality In Education) - 9781032073705

By exploring the discursive production of gender norms, this book uses case studies conducted in Australian secondary schools to understand how everyday schooling practices reproduce hierarchies of difference. Drawing on qualitative research, the volume presents detailed analysis of discourses surrounding issues including bullying, bodily representations, anxiety, and career aspirations to illustrate how day-to-day school practices contribute to inequity. Engaging theoretically with concepts from feminist new materialism, the text discusses filmic data collected as part of an onto-epistemological study, and features chapters that call for alternative educational encounters which affirmatively acknowledge difference and promote non-binary thinking. This text will benefit researchers, academics, and educators with an interest in gender and sexuality education, gender inequality, and the sociology of education. Those interested in gender studies and feminist theory, as well as educational policy and politics more broadly will also benefit from this book.
