Constructing and Deconstructing Masculinities through Critical Literacy.

Davies, Bronwyn

Gender and Education, v9 n1 p9-30 Mar 1997

Discusses how we become gendered through our culture and provides a classroom analysis of a teacher working with boys to get them to see themselves as literate in ways that are usually eschewed by boys who achieve hegemonic masculinity. Concludes with a definition of critical literacy that is considered relevant to the teaching of literacies to boys. (GR)
