Wayne Martino, Michael D Kehler, Marcus Weaver-Hightower, "The Problem with Boys' Education : Beyond the Backlash"

The Problem with Boys' Education: Beyond the Backlash offers an illuminating analysis of the theories, politics and realities of boys' education around the world, providing an insightful and often disturbing account of various educational systems' successes and failings in fostering intellectual and social growth in male students.Examining original research on the impact of implementing boys’ education programs in schools, the book also discusses the

role of male teachers in educating boys, strategies for aiding marginalized boys in the classroom, and the possibilities for gender reform in schools that begins at the level of pedagogy.

Complete with case studies of various classrooms, school districts, and governmental policy programs, the collected detailed essays provide a look into education’s role in the development of masculinities, paying special attention to the ways in which these masculinities intersect with race, class, and sexuality to complicate the experience of boys within and outside of a classroom setting.

Wayne Martino is Professor of Education in the Faculty of Education at the University of Western Ontario, Canada. His research interests are in the field of gender equity, masculinities, and anti-oppressive education. He is currently working with Goli Rezai-Rashti on a research project funded by the SSHRC (Social Science Humanities Research Council of Canada) entitled, The influence of male teachers in elementary schools.

Michael Kehler is an Associate Professor currently teaching in the preservice and graduate education program at the University of Western Ontario. His research interests include the counter-hegemonic practices of high school young men, literacies, masculinities, and the ongoing negotiations involved for young men resisting heteronormativity.

Marcus B. Weaver-Hightower is an Assistant Professor of Educational Foundations and Research at the University of North Dakota (United States), where he teaches graduate courses in gender and education, action research, the sociology of education, and ethnographic research. He is a former Fulbright scholar to Australia, where he conducted a year-long study of the development and implementation of the first federal-level policy on the education of boys. His research interests include the politics of boys’ education concerns, masculinity studies, literacy, qualitative and action research, and cultural studies.
