uncovering gender discourses in the early childhood classroom

Summary

Mindy Blaise challenges the usefulness of existing parameters for the assessment & description of child development in early education settings, arguing that current theory excludes important social & political constructs of gender., In particular, this book uses alternative theoretical perspectives to focus on how young children are 'doing' gender in kindergarten classroom.Rather than relying exclusively on biological and socialization theories of gender construction, Blaise breaks down theoretical barriers with new understandings of how gender is socially and politically constructed by young children
