Boys, Schooling and Masculinities: Interrogating the "Right" Way To Educate Boys.

Martino, Wayne; Berrill Deborah

Educational Review, v55 n2 p99-117 Jun 2003

This review of research investigates ways in which the resurgence of the political right and the feminist backlash have attempted to impose a "common-sense" concept of masculinity on the education of boys. Explores the effect of masculinity on boys' literacy practices and argues for teaching practices grounded in social construction of gender. Contains 86 references. (SK)
