The Discursive Production of the Male/Female Dualism in School Settings.
Davies, Bronwyn
Oxford Review of Education, v15 n3 p229-41 1989
Characterizes teachers as socializing agents reinforcing sex-gender stereotypes. Claims that the production of the self-concept involves learning categories that include some people and exclude others. Argues that linguistic definitions act as a constraint on development, and discourse directs individuals into a gender-specific structure. (NL)
