Description
Workshop: Civic Education, Gender and Intersectionality: Barriers and Effective Methods for Empowerment in the Political Socialisation Process in Secondary SchoolsA democracy requires all social groups to engage. However, the gender gap in political leadership, and political self-efficacy remains persistent in Western democracies. The discrepancies seem even greater if we consider the intersect of gender, social class and ethnicity. Research identifies that these differences begin in school, and are influenced by classroom dynamics. Ensuring equality within the democratic system requires that we address these differences at the time they take shape, during adolescence. This workshop aims to examine gender-specific political socialisation from an intersectional perspective, as well as educational practices that reduce this gap. We welcome empirical and theoretical contributions.
