Schooling, Sexuality and Male Power: Towards an Emancipatory Curriculum.

Mac an Ghaill, Mairtin

Gender and Education, v3 n3 p291-309 1991

The interrelationship between masculinity and schooling is explored for 10 gay males aged 16 to 19 years. Focal issues are the following: (1) sex education; (2) essentialism-constructionism; (3) sexual stereotyping; (4) sexual and gender systems; and (5) homosexuality. These perspectives recognize sexual/gender systems as a school organizing principle. (SLD)
