Abstract
ABSTRACT A 1987 paper by Sandra Acker remains a seminal academic contribution that identified and discussed the differences between three feminist schools of thought and their application to research and practice in education. Her analysis identified three Western feminist approaches- Liberal, Socialist and Radical and omits mention of Western Black feminist thought and any anti-imperial/indigenous feminist scholarship relevant to education. This article responds to Acker’s analysis presenting some of the work she omitted. Drawing on Black and African-feminist thought, the discussion distils some of their insights about gender issues in schools and considers some consequences for the scholarly field of gender, education and development of a canon based on a narrow range of feminist thought
期刊介绍：
This international journal of educational studies presents up-to-date information with analyses of significant problems and trends throughout the world. Comparative Education engages with challenging theoretical and methodological issues - and also considers the implications of comparative studies for the formation and implementation of policies - not only in education but in social, national and international development. Thus it welcomes contributions from associated disciplines in the fields of government, management, sociology - and indeed technology and communications - as these affect educational research and policy decisions.
