Neoliberal Education Reform: Gendered Notions in Global and Local Contexts

A gendered view of teaching stresses how policy is done and how it leads to particular outcomes, while not changing the conceptual focus: understanding the implications of neoliberal education reform on teachers work. This volume examines gendered labor processes, the behind-the-scenes work done to make sense of education reform. It includes interviews and observations revealing what it means to be a teacher in the reform context, and explores the ways masculinities and femininities shape teachers decision-making on implementing policy and practice.
