Abstract

Research that employs gender and/or feminism as a theoretical framework in social studies education continues to reside on the edges. This phenomenon is evident from a comprehensive review of recent gender and feminist scholarship in social studies education. Nine categories emerged from a review of journal articles and book chapters that encompassed recent research on the intersection of social studies education and gender. Yet, a small but dedicated group, linked by “bonds of sisterhood,” continue to produce high quality scholarship in this area. The scholarship is focused in varying degrees on teachers, students, curriculum and instruction, textbooks, standards and testing, technology, global studies, masculinities, and historic and present female social studies education leaders. More research needs to be conducted, however, especially in the area of the intersection of gender, social studies education, and standards and testing, technology, and masculinities.
