Gender, Masculinities and Lifelong Learning
2012,2013
Overview
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.
