07 SES 11 JS, Critical Reflections on Social Justice and Equality in Education, Part II: Critical Reflections on Policies and Practices in Education
Joint Session with NW 19
Symposium
Contribution
The aim of the presentation is to highlight similarities in politics and practices linked to gender equality in education in Finland and Sweden from the 1970s to the 2010s with special attention on the alliance and influence of heteronormativity and marketisation. State and gender equality project documentation is analysed. Main attention in both countries has, in line with heteronormativity, been on the labour market, foremost directing girls towards science and technology, and on publicly funded and short-term projects. The results indicate that the alliance of heteronormativity and marketisation has increasingly reproduced gender as competing dichotomous categories with one sex losing to the benefit of the other.
