BOYS, LITERACIES AND SCHOOLING by Leonie Rowan
This book responds to the complexity of the current debates associated with boys, gender reform, literacy and schooling by offering a clear map of the current context, highlighting the strengths and weaknesses of the various competing solutions put forward, and outlining a range of practical classroom interventions designed for dealing with the boys/literacy crisis. The authors consider the ways in which particular views of masculinity, gender reform, literacy, technology and popular culture can either open up or close down new conceptualizations of what it means to be a boy and what it means to literate.
“…very interesting in terms of discourse analysis and gender issues in educationI would recommend the book to students and teachers involved in researching gender issues…an interesting and helpful discussion of the limitations of quick-fix solutions.” – Improving Schools
