There is a gap in research about the gender identity and gender experience of men leading all-boys middle-schools. In addition, there has been little work done exploring the link between the inner lives of male school leaders, their level of burnout or satisfaction, and the impacts on their school leadership. The purpose of this study was to…

The curriculum used in educating young people has the ability either to serve as a catalyst for the development of a science identity or potentially sway individuals away from the fields of science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM). This study critically analyzed gender representation across 10 secondary education biology/life science…

Despite the existing gender stereotypes associated with science and masculinity, there are some female teachers in secondary co-educational schools in Bangladesh who are contesting this normative discourse by taking up a profession in the science field. This research is an attempt to make visible lived gendered experiences of female science…

This article explores the perception of gender inequality in science and the influencing factors. Data was collected through in-depth interviews with students belonging to a science club; we present it as a case study. This research sheds light on what high school and university students studying Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics…

This article examines the Ontario secondary school curriculum's inclusion of opportunities to teach about gender-based violence, drawing on analysis of the "Social Sciences and Humanities," "Canadian and World Issues," and "Health and Physical Education" curricula and seven teacher interviews. Analysis applies…

This article draws primarily on a dataset of 60 semi-structured interviews conducted with teachers working in English and French state-funded secondary schools.

Findings illuminate the construction of women…

In this discussion, we argue for those who are literacy educators to reframe gossip as a dialogic, feminist act in their teaching and interpretation of gossip as framed in the literature they teach in secondary English language arts (ELA) classrooms. Reframing gossip as a feminist act invites meaning-makers to view those conversations and…

Theories of gender and race in mathematics education predominately remain unchanged in recent years (Damarin, 2008; Parks & Schmeichel, 2012), with feminism not always seen as relevant to mathematics education. New theories and methodologies related to gender create possibilities to reinvigorate gender research in mathematics education and…

Little has been written about how to bring feminist theory to pedagogical design, such that school students can engage with concepts such as power relations, governmentality, performativity, intersectionality, or affective assemblage. However, these concepts provide powerful thinking frames for activating insight into the shaping nature of gender…

With sexual violence prevention programs gaining traction in secondary schools, students' attitudes toward sexual violence have begun to be measured more frequently.

In this article we explore the utility but also limitations of gender stereotyping lessons, a common undertaking by teachers introducing media analysis to youth. We document our collaboration with a Canadian high school teacher as she translated her understanding of critical media literacy into practice in a unit addressing questions about the…

Gender equity in Australian schooling is no longer the policy focus that it once was.
