Description
This timely Modern Guide engages with new developments in the fields of gender, sexuality, and education across the Global South and North. It addresses the resurgence of conservative movements and contemporary debates surrounding gender and sexuality.
Expert contributors investigate digital manifestations of misogyny and gender-based violence and forms of hatred linked to global migration, wars, and environmental injustices. Chapters focus on emerging configurations of identity and the new approaches needed to examine these, assessing key topics including defensive masculinity, menstrual inequity as a global educational challenge, and navigating class, gender and precarity in higher education. Utilising state-of-the-art theoretical and methodological frameworks, this Modern Guide subverts traditional narratives that devalue femininity and minoritised sexualities, demonstrating the need for social justice in education.
Academics and students of education policy and the sociology of education, as well as social justice more broadly, will benefit from this Modern Guide's crucial insights. It is also a crucial resource for policymakers and professionals cultivating equity and social justice in educational settings.
