Overview of different theoretical positions on equity issues in schools, covering all sectors of education from early years to higher education: curriculum subjects: methodological and theoretical perspectives: and gender identities in education. The first section, Gender Theory and Methodology, outlines the various (feminist) perspectives on researching and exploring gender and education. The section critiques the notion of gender as a category in educational research and considers recent trends. Section two, Gender and Education, considers the impact of gender upon the opportunities and experiences of pupils/students, teachers, and other adults in the different sectors of education. It also includes a chapter on single-sex schooling. Section three, Gender and School Subjects, comprises chapters that cover gender issues within the teaching and learning of particular school subjects (for example, maths, literacy, and science). It also includes topics such as sex education and assessment. Section four, Gender, Identity and Educational Sites, addresses up-to-date issues which have a long history in terms of explorations into gender and educational opportunities. More recent inclusions in the debates, such as disability, sexuality, and masculinities are discussed alongside the more traditional concerns of 'race', social class, and femininities. The final section, Working in Schools and Colleges, illuminates the working lives of teachers and academics and covers topics such as school culture, career progression and development, and the gendered identities of professionals within educational institutions.
