Feminism and Canadian Schools

Claiming an Education

Jane Gaskell

Arlene McLaren

Beginning with a concrete definition of feminism in relation to education, the authors of this popular and challenging study suggest an answer to the crucial questions: What are our schools teaching, in what way, and how does it impact on the lives of women? The incisive and thought-provoking contents of this volume include "Equality of Opportunity: Issues of Access and Achievement"; "What is Worth Knowing?: Defining a Feminist Curriculum"; "Teachers, Child Care Workers and Mothers: The Work of Caring and Educating"; "Post-secondary Education and Beyond." Claiming an Education offers a balanced presentation of the central issues facing education planners as they struggle to define the place of feminism in Canadian schools. An Our Schools/Our Selves book.

Bob Davis

This book relates the remarkably varied experiences of a man whose career reads like an index of progressive educational developments in late-twentieth century Ontario. Bob Davis has taught in a military academy; in a treatment centre for disturbed children; in an alternative community school; in a university (OISE); and for 23 years in two Metro Toronto high schools. He has co-founded and edited This Magazine Is About Schools and Mudpie: Growing Up in Ontario. He led picket lines and co-organized a successful six-month occupation of a University of Toronto building. Bod Davis maintains "All means prove but a blunt instrument if they have not behind them a living spirit." What Our High Schools Could Be... shows how his career embodied that spirit. An Our Schools/Our Selves book.
