Samenvatting
This edited volume reflects on current debate around gender in education, where academics, practitioners and policy-makers are beginning to refer to a crisis of masculinity.
Gender, Masculinities and Lifelong Learning reflects on current debates and discourses around gender and education, in which some academics, practitioners and policy-makers have referred to a crisis of masculinity. This book explores questions such as: Are men under-represented in education? Are women outstripping men in terms of achievement? What evidence supports the view that men are becoming educationally disadvantaged?
Drawing on research from a number of countries, including the UK, Australia, New Zealand and Canada, the contributors' discuss a range of issues which intersect with gender to impact on education, including structural factors such as class, ethnicity and age as well as colonisation and migration. The book provides evidence and argument to illuminate contemporary debates about the involvement of men and women in education, including:
- The impact of colonisation on the gendering of education and lifelong learning
- International surveys on men, women and educational participation
- Gender, masculinities and migrants’ learning experiences
- Boys-only classes as a response to ‘the problem of underachieving boys’
- Men’s perspectives on learning to become parents
- Community learning, gender and public policy
- Older men’s perspectives on (re-)entering post-compulsory education
The book goes on to suggest the implications for practice, research and policy. Importantly, it critically addresses some of the taken-for-granted beliefs about men and their engagement in lifelong learning, presenting new evidence to demonstrate the complexity of gender and education today. With these complexities in mind, the authors provide a framework for developing further understanding of the issues involved with gender and lifelong learning.
Gender, Masculinities and Lifelong Learning will be of interest to any practitioner open to fresh ideas and approaches in teaching and programming connected with gender and education.
