Peer reviewedGordon, Tuula; Lahelma, Elina – Gender and Education, 1996
The significance of a school's physical environment is explored through a discussion of a metaphor used by some students in a study in Finland and England in which students characterized their schools. The "ant's nest" metaphor communicates the lack of spatial and embodied autonomy that students experience in school. (SLD)
