Description
Sandra Acker explores fundamental themes in the study of women and education. With arguments grounded in sound scholarship and empirical evidence, and a style that is clear and accessible without minimizing the complexities behind the issues, she addresses invisibilities and inequities in the sociology of education, the careers of women teachers and the experiences of women academics. She examines the development of the sociology of women's education, assesses the contributions of feminist theory and feminist research to educational enquiry, and considers whether gender equity in education is nearly with us or still a feminist fantasy. Sandra Acker is interested in understanding when work settings facilitate or limit scholarship, beliefs and careers; why feminism is resisted by teachers and educational policy-makers; and how gender can be made central to scholarship.
