The Gender and Education Association would like to announce that the 8th International Gender and Education Conference will be held in the Graduate School of Education at Exeter University from 27th-30th April 2011.
Conference Theme
The theme for the 2011 conference is ‘Gender and Education: Past, Present and Future’. A theme that was inspired by a special edition of the journal ‘Discourse: Studies in the Cultural Politics of Education’, published in 2008. In this special edition the guest editors sought to trace the changes that have occurred in the field of gender and education in recent years, to discuss the explosion of interest that has arisen and to ‘trouble – in a generous sense – the field from the vantage point of insiders…to inquire into the state of the relationship now and to see where new possibilities may be emerging’ (Dillabough et al 2008: 302).
