Feminism and the Classroom Teacher Research, Praxis, and Pedagogy

Coffey and Delamont (both sociology, Cardiff U. Wales) undertake a feminist analysis of the work and everyday realities of the school teacher, offering evidence that feminism is still relevant as a way of thinking about the social world and as a lived reality. They look at the different layers of a teacher's work, intellectual and practical contingencies of the classroom context, the teaching career, and other dimensions.
