Event Details

How and why do heterosexual male secondary school English teachers present gender identity in the classroom?

Using a braided autoethnographic methodological approach, I have explored this question for my PhD thesis. After developing a 'braided' narrative from interviews with research participants and from my experience as a career secondary school English teacher, I suggest ways teachers can (re)consider presentations of gender identity in the classroom. I also suggest further development of braided autoethnography as a qualitative methodological approach.

There will be a chance to ask questions at the end of the seminar presentation via Zoom
