focus sex and gender health gender roles a Sociological Perspective
Yale Journal of Biology and Medicine, 2016Co-Authors: Aaron J Roberto, Kevin J LiAbstract:Gender Roles: A Sociological Perspective, Sixth Edition, delivers a clear and concise review of the foundations of knowledge in the field of gender studies with historical, contemporary and cultural context. The text provides important, essential commentary on current research in the field. The sixth edition tackles gender myths, gendered trends in health and mental health, and provides a framework for understanding gender roles within traditional and contemporary media. New research in this edition expounds and delinates a wide variety of topics, including masculinity norms in social institutions, gender roles within political elections, and the gender issues that intersect with public policy. The text is organized in an attentive and deliberate manner that provides structured context to the Sociological commentaries. The content is divided into three parts, namely: “Part I: Theoritical and Interdisciplinary Perspectives,” “Part II: Gender Roles, Marriage, and the Family,” and “Part III: Gender Roles: Focus on Social Institutions.” Part I lays the groundwork with in-depth exposition of fundamental Sociological concepts, feminism, and gender theories, providing the natural history and historical context of these Perspectives. Part II addresses gender issues within the social constructs of family, marriage, and household. Part III summarizes the key theories and points, culminating in application of central concepts to contemporary issues in business, education, economics, religion, public policy, law, and the media. The information is uniformly and cogently organized with each part subdivided into sections. Each section begins with learning objectives and ends with a summary of emphasized concepts, section of key terms, and critical thinking questions. The organization is simple yet thoughtfully structured providing effective guidance. This well-structured organization is repeated throughout the text. For example, Part II is divided into sections on love and marriage, family relations, and men and masculinity. The first section in “Part II” is a section (chapter 7) entitled “Gendered Love, Marriage, and Emerging Lifestyles.” This chapter distinguishes between the concepts of love, friendship and marriage, challenges regarding some common myths surrounding romance and love. Further, this articulate, excellently written chapter introduces avant-garde styles of relationships. This leads into the next chapters in Part II which discuss the gender issues within family relationships; and lastly, new research on gender issues from the “micro-level” of Sociological inspection; specifically, male gender roles and masculinity. The natural step-wise progression of the text builds a strong context before introducing the new research and its commentaries. To balance the interpretations of these Sociological views, critiques, given their own sub-sections, are found throughout the text and provide unbiased opposing views. Gender Roles: A Sociological Perspective offers readers both historical and contemporary views of the gender issues. The text provides not only context but also examples for these issues within a wide array of frameworks including political, economic, and cultural contexts. Initially introducing the foundation of Sociological concepts needed to understand these issues, the text allows novice readers to quickly develop a sophisticated working knowledge about these important issues. This book is highly recommended not only for public consumers and students, but also for experts in the field who will appreciate the astute description and discussion of the latest research, as well as a rich, comprehensive review of fundamental sociologic concepts.

re producing mathematics educators a Sociological Perspective
Teaching Education, 2004Co-Authors: Andrew NoyesAbstract:What difference do teacher educators really make? This paper explores the role of mathematics student‐teachers' pre‐training dispositions (habitus) in reproducing classroom practice, and the effect of different training contexts (habitat) upon what Bourdieu called “dispositional harmonisation”. These Bourdieuan concepts are mobilised to examine aspects of pre‐service teacher education, students' emerging teaching dispositions and the sociogeographical distribution of new mathematics teachers in the United Kingdom. This small‐scale study suggests that it may be difficult for teacher‐educators to influence the long‐term practices of new teachers, by indicating how educational inequality is perpetuated through the positioning of new teachers in their “natural” teaching habitats. Finally, I examine the need for further research and the potential for disrupting these processes of social and pedagogical reproduction and consider the need to develop critical forms of mathematics teacher education.

exploring the everyday philosophies of physical education teachers from a Sociological Perspective
Sport Education and Society, 2000Co-Authors: Ken GreenAbstract:This paper presents the findings from semi-structured interviews with 35 physical education (PE) teachers in secondary schools in the north-west of England. The principal aim of the study was to examine teachers' everyday 'philosophies' of PE, from a Sociological Perspective, in an attempt to identify the existence of philosophical - or, more accurately, ideological - themes therein and to explore the socio-genesis of such 'philosophies'. Analysis of the interview data revealed several prominent ideological themes - sport, health, academic value, education for leisure and 'sport for all'. These themes bore little resemblance to the more academic conceptions of PE to be found in PE theory and documentation. In this vein, teachers' commitment to particular notions, such as enjoyment, begged questions regarding the ostensibly educational element of physical education. Having identified the existence of what might be termed a 'theory-practice' gap between academic philosophy of PE and the ideological themes i...

extra curricular physical education in england and wales a Sociological Perspective on a sporting bias
European Journal of Physical Education, 2000Co-Authors: Ken GreenAbstract:This paper explores the alleged sporting ‘bias’ within extra‐curricular physical education (PE) in England and Wales, from a Sociological Perspective. By drawing upon aspects of figurational sociology ‐‐ in particular, by exploring the habituses of PE teachers and the networks of relationships in which they, as the providers of extra‐curricular PE, are bound up ‐ the paper attempts to expand our understanding of the particular orientation of extra‐curricular PE towards competitive team sport and the more able youngsters. The apparent sporting ‘bias’ inherent in extra‐curricular PE is explained in terms of how sporting ideologies and practices come to be embedded in the normative behaviour of PE teachers and the manner in which a variety of constraints at the local and national level serve to reinforce the apparent tendency towards providing ‘more of the same for the more able’.
