This work has been undertaken as part of the Caroline and Sigmund Schott Foundation’s ongoing enterprise to promote gender equity, and more specifically, as part of the current effort to promote gender equity in the context of education. In particular, we have set out here to determine how American adults concerned with education understand the nature of the relationship between gender and the school experience (as well as related identity issues such as race and class). We focus not on opinions about particular issues relating to gender and schools (some of which have been documented in previous polls and surveys), but on the more fundamental cultural models that define the key concepts associated with School and Gender, and on which the various opinions are based. A clear understanding of the public’s deeply held and widely shared assumptions will be instrumental in helping foundations shape effective communications campaigns. |
