Achieving Gender Justice through Education
The Hidden Curriculum and Its Implications in Indian Schools
About this book
This book delves into the uncharted territories of how gender dynamics subtly shape educational experiences in Indian schools. While traditional educational reforms focus on increasing enrolment and making textbooks more inclusive, this book highlights the overlooked yet powerful influence of "hidden curriculum" – the implicit lessons that subtly shape students' views on gender, caste, class, and religion.
Positioned in feminist cultural reproduction perspective and informed by capability approach, this book explores education as an object of demand, a conduit for diffusion of ideas, and a site for gender activism. It provides a critical analysis of how schools can be transformed into spaces of empowerment, negotiation, and resistance for all students. Drawing on immersive research that challenges ordinary interactions and processes, it expands our understanding of what constitutes curriculum and knowledge.
Particularly useful for educationists, educators, policymakers, academics, curriculum developers, teacher training institutes, gender studies departments, and university centres offering educational studies courses, this book offers a captivating read for anyone interested in examining their own educational experiences.
