Beyond the "Gender Wars": A Conversation about Girls, Boys, and Education (Washington, D.C., September 14-15, 2000).
Dyer, Susan K., Ed.
In September 2000, a symposium was convened by the American Association of University Women Educational Foundation to foster a discussion among scholars who study both girls' and boys' experiences in and out of school. Participants shared their insights about gender identity and difference, challenged popular views of girls' and boys' behavior, and explored the meaning of equitable education for the 21st century. Among the participants were Susan McGee Bailey, Patricia B. Campbell, Beatriz Chu Clewell, James Garbarino, Patricia Hersch, Michael S. Kimmel, Lynn Phillips, William S. Pollack, and Barrie Thorne. This report summarizes the key insights from the symposium and includes the following chapters: (1) "Which Girls? Which Boys? Putting Gender Identity in Context"; (2) "What Is Success? Defining an Equitable and Effective Education for Girls and Boys"; (3) "What If There Were a Gender War and No One Showed Up? Reframing the Issues"; and (4) "What Are the Priorities? Setting an Agenda for the Future." (Includes 17 endnotes.) (BT)
