The "Gender Dimension" of Both the "Narrow" and "Broad" Curriculum in UK Higher Education: Do Women Lose Out in Both?

Bagilhole, Barbara; Goode, Jackie

Gender and Education, v10 n4 p445-58 Dec 1998

Investigated the impact of gender issues on the university campus in the United Kingdom through 37 interviews with students and staff. In male-dominated disciplines a "narrow" definition of curriculum as a body of knowledge to be transferred to students prevailed. In disciplines where more women were present, gender dimensions were more likely to be incorporated. (SLD)
