Gender is a prominent and often-contested issue in educational settings across the globe. Although understandings of gender and academic and professional potential, roles and expectations, and opportunities and abilities have greatly expanded over the past century in various contexts, schools remain sites of intense conflict around definitions of gender and gendered access and expression. Yet, despite rapid changes in gendered educational patterns and in how education scholars conceptualize and study gender, the field lacks a recent, comprehensive resource text. This two-volume encyclopedia, a unique compendium on gender and education with an expansive and inclusive approach, will address this urgent need. Featuring a broad range of 250 to 300 well-researched, short articles written by global experts in the field, this much-needed guide will be an essential, first-stop resource for students and scholars exploring issues of gender and education, as well as for educators engaging in a rapidly changing and nuanced field.
