Globalizing Education for Work: Comparative Perspectives on Gender and the New Economy: Sociocultural, Political, and Historical Studies in Education
Editat de Richard D. Lakes, Patricia A. Carteren Limba Engleză Paperback – 7 mai 2015
The cross-national perspectives in this volume illuminate the meaning of VET equity theory and practice in the new economy. Gender equity in education is constructed differently from place to place depending on a variety of factors, including economic development and cultural traditions. Starting from this understanding that gender and culture are multifaceted, historically situated, and constructed around dominant economic and institutional structures, class identities, and social positions, as well as discursive practices, the book addresses central questions, such as:
*What roles do schools play in the global economy?
*Is there a parallel between an increasingly globalized economy and a viable universal concept of education for work?
*What is the effect of a nation's financial condition, political system, and global economic posture on its training policies?
*Are educational equity issues heightened or submerged in the new economy?
The comparative perspective helps readers to more clearly analyze both tensions that arise as capitalist changes in the new economy are contested, resisted, or accommodated--and the impact upon education. In the Afterword, the editors identify overarching themes emerging from the volume and illuminate various comparative perspectives on gender and the new economy.
Globalizing Education for Work: Comparative Perspectives on Gender and the New Economy brings together important information and analysis for researchers, students, and teachers in education, women's studies, and sociology; for vocational education and training professionals; and for policymakers and policy analysts in governmental and nongovernmental organizations. It is well suited as a text for a range of graduate courses in the fields of comparative and international education, politics of education, vocational educational policy, gender and education, and sociology of education.

Recenzii
"I would place this book at the top of the spectrum of thinking in its field....It will contribute significantly to the field of vocational education and gender equity."
—Mutindi Ndunda
College of Charleston
"The topic is certainly of long-standing concern to a segment of those involved in vocational and technical education both in the U.S. and abroad. This book definitely adopts a social justice perspective but is in line with the approach taken by scholars from this tradition....It is unique in its approach and content....and will fill a current gap in the literature about gender equity and workforce education and development."
