This area canvassed the whole broad range of schooling structures and processes and led to several publications about the effects of school gender context. More recently my research interests have focussed on questions of power and politics as evidenced by qualitative research into young people's understandings of the world with particular attention to questions of identity, power and citizenship education. As a foundation member...
