About the Book

In the past few years the media has published alarmist stories claiming that gender reform in shools has benefited girls at the expense of boys. In Masculinity Goes to School, Rob and Pam Gilbert offer a balanced overview of the issues surrounding boys and education. They look beyond the often hysterical debate in the popular media to analyse what is actually happening with boys in the school system, and how this can be understood. They argue that popular constructions of masculinity affect boys in all parts of their lives: in families, peer groups and work cultures - at home, at school, at work and at leisure. Masculinity Goes to School offers insights into key issues affecting boys at school including literacy, sport, bad behaviour, sexuality, race and ethnicity, and popular culture. It also looks at programs and approaches to working with boys which have been successful in schools. Masculinity Goes to School is an accessible introduction to boys, masculinity and education for teachers, parents and anyone else interested in gender and education. 'An excellent, wide-ranging account of the issus about boys at school - well informed, level-headed, and clearly written. Without flinching from tough issues like violence and literacy, Rob and Pam Gilbert give us a message of practical hope, and make us aware of the diversity of boys' lives.' Profesor R W Connell, University of Sydney 'An excellent introduction to issues of masculinity and schooling.' Profesor Pat Mahony, Roehampton Institute, University of Sydney '.when there is so much confused thinking about masculinity and what teachers should do with boys, this book is the breath of fresh air we all need: it is lucid, balanced, insightful, profound.' Professor Bronwyn Davies, Author of Frogs and Snails and Feminist Tales.
