Why does gender still matter in education?Contributions and challenges for educational research June 29, 30 and July 1 2011
Keynote speakers
Elisabeth de Sotelo from University of Koblenz-Landau (Germany) Helena Costa Araújo, University of Porto (Portugal)
INTRODUCTION
Within the next Educ8 group workshop we want to focus on gender inequalities in education and youth research. Discussion of gender inequality in education is not new and has been on the research and political agenda of democratic countries for years; nonetheless equality is still not achieved. As much as formal and non formal education, it is known invisibilization of women at the official curricula, gender stereotypes at text books, girls achievements and boys academic failure at schools, difficulties by women teachers to access to decision posts within school (head team) and training in gender equality in education
(coeducation) also new emphases of gender issues are emerging as violence in school, multiple inequalities or intercultural topics.
