Roberts, Steven – British Journal of Sociology of Education, 2012
In the 1980s, researchers established the need to document and analyse the educational attitudes, behaviours and outcomes of "ordinary kids" as a means of developing a holistic account of school experience.

This study examines change and the conditions of change in the masculinity of Olli, a working-class Finnish school boy.

Carragher, Lucia; Golding, Barry – Adult Education Quarterly: A Journal of Research and Theory, 2015
To date, little attention has been placed on older men (aged 50+ years) as learners, with much of the literature on adult learning concerned with younger age-groups and issues around gender equity directed mainly at women. This article examines the impact of community-based men's sheds on informal and nonformal learning by older men in Ireland. It…

A history of framing the teaching of young children as a matter of "natural" female aptitude has led a number of researchers and educators to oversimplify men's experiences as a foil or antidote to the ills of schooling. In this qualitative study of men, women, and "feminisation" in early education and care environments,…

Dunn, Peter – Journal of Interpersonal Violence, 2012
The impact and meanings of homophobic violence on gay men's identities are explored with a particular focus on their identities as men and as gay men.
