Title: Gender policy in Australian schools: a missed opportunity?
Author/Creator: Hartman, Deborah
Description: This paper describes the rise of boys' education as a substantial social and educational issue in Australia in the 1990s, mapping the changes in Australian discourses on boys' education in this period. Ideas and authors informed by the men's movement entered the discourses about boys' education, contributing to a wave of teacher experimentation and new ways of thinking about gender policies in schools. The author suggests that there is currently a policy impasse, and proposes a new multi-disciplinary approach bringing together academic, practitioner, policy, and public discourses on boys' education.
