Book Synopsis Women Teachers in Africa by : Nelly P. Stromquist
Download or read book Women Teachers in Africa written by Nelly P. Stromquist and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-02-10 with total page 277 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Through qualitative research methods, this book engages in a holistic understanding of cultural, economic, and institutional forces that interact to produce the underrepresentation of women as school teachers in four sub-Saharan African countries. Comparative case studies at the national level, using a common research design, show that teaching, despite being an attractive civil service job, offers low salaries and many challenges, especially when it takes place in rural areas. Combining professional duties with demanding family responsibilities further diminishes women’s ability to stay in the teaching profession. The studies in this book attempt to bridge research findings with policy by developing action plans in cooperation with ministries of education of the respective countries. Women Teachers in Africa will be of interest to academic researchers, undergraduate and postgraduate students in the relevant fields, as well as development professionals, aid agency staff and education policy experts.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Teaching is a major employer of women in south Africa and yet is largely ignored and underrated. Drawing on different disciplines, this study breaks new ground by filling a gap in knowledge about the impact of class, race and gender oppression on women teachers and those in senior management positions in Lebowa, South Africa. The study relies heavily on the feminist theory and methodology in an attempt to explore the historical, political, economic and social structures that have shaped the position and careers of black women teachers within the apartheid social formation.
Book Synopsis The Spirit of Our Work by : Cynthia B. Dillard
Download or read book The Spirit of Our Work written by Cynthia B. Dillard and published by Beacon Press. This book was released on 2021-11-16 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An exploration of how engaging identity and cultural heritage can transform teaching and learning for Black women educators in the name of justice and freedom in the classroom In The Spirit of Our Work, Dr. Cynthia Dillard centers the spiritual lives of Black women educators and their students, arguing that spirituality has guided Black people throughout the diaspora. She demonstrates how Black women teachers and teacher educators can heal, resist, and (re)member their identities in ways that are empowering for them and their students. Dillard emphasizes that any discussion of Black teachers’ lives and work cannot be limited to truncated identities as enslaved persons in the Americas. The Spirit of Our Work addresses questions that remain largely invisible in what is known about teaching and teacher education. According to Dillard, this invisibility renders the powerful approaches to Black education that are imbodied and marshaled by Black women teachers unknown and largely unavailable to inform policy, practice, and theory in education. The Spirit of Our Work highlights how the intersectional identities of Black women teachers matter in teaching and learning and how educational settings might more carefully and conscientiously curate structures of support that pay explicit and necessary attention to spirituality as a crucial consideration.

Book Synopsis Quality Teaching and the Capability Approach by : Alison Buckler
Download or read book Quality Teaching and the Capability Approach written by Alison Buckler and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-04-24 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides an analytical exploration of the condition of teachers working in expanding school systems across the world, with a particular focus on the lives of women teachers in rural Sub-Saharan Africa. Drawing from award-winning research, it looks beyond the official portrayals of teachers’ lives in order to better understand the reality of the contexts in which teachers live and work. Positioning Amartya Sen’s capability approach at the heart of the study, each chapter considers documentary evidence alongside ethnographic research from rural, remote and under-resourced schools in Ghana, Nigeria, Kenya, South Africa and Sudan. Interweaving rich narratives from teachers in a variety of contexts, the book proposes a concept of professional capability and examines female teachers’ agency to pursue and achieve this in their classrooms. This key examination challenges existing notions of ‘quality education’ and reveals insights into the broader purpose of schooling for rural communities. Quality Teaching and the Capability Approach will be of value to researchers, academics and postgraduate students in education, particularly those concerned with gender, development and teaching, as well as educationalists and policy makers concerned with education and development.
Book Synopsis Exploring Self-Authorship Among North African Women Teachers by : Rachida Labbas
Download or read book Exploring Self-Authorship Among North African Women Teachers written by Rachida Labbas and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This qualitative study aimed at exploring the way North African Muslim female teachers make meaning of their teaching experience in relation to the socio-cultural and political factors, which in in this context is through epistemological dimensions (how Muslim female teachers know), intrapersonal dimensions (how Muslim female teachers define their identity), and interpersonal (how Muslim female teachers define their relations with others). In-depth interviews were used to collect data. The findings revealed women in North Africa relied on omniscient Authority in their learning experiences, which have impacted the development of attitudes towards learning. The findings have also shown women did not stand at the Crossroads, but they have empowered themselves through education. Women have demonstrated they relied on their own judgements to evaluate the source and certainty of knowledge. However, their intrapersonal and interpersonal dimensions are highly shaped by the social norms in the region.

Book Synopsis Women's Roles in Sub-Saharan Africa by : Toyin Falola
Download or read book Women's Roles in Sub-Saharan Africa written by Toyin Falola and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2012-01-06 with total page 345 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This exhaustive exploration of the sociocultural, political, and economic roles of African women through history demonstrates how African women have shaped—and continue to shape—their societies. Women play essential, critical roles in every society; African women south of the Sahara are certainly no different. Women's Roles in Sub-Saharan Africa adds significantly to our understanding of the ways in which women contribute to the fabric of human civilization. This book provides an in-depth exploration of African women's roles in society from precolonial periods to the contemporary era. Topical sections describe the roles that women play in family, courtship and marriage, religion, work, literature and arts, and government. Each of the six chapters has been structured to elucidate women's roles and functions in society as partners, as active participants, as defenders of their status and occupations, and as agents of change. Authors Nana Akua Amponsah and Toyin Falola present a thought-provoking work that looks at the complicated victimhood/powerful-female paradigm in women and gender studies in Africa, and challenge ideological interest in African historiography that privilege male representation.
Book Synopsis Women's Access to Higher Education in Africa by : Joy C. Kwesiga
Download or read book Women's Access to Higher Education in Africa written by Joy C. Kwesiga and published by Fountain Books. This book was released on 2002 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book addresses the gender divide in access to higher education and the Ugandan situation. It examines theories of girls' education, human capital, gender inequality and gender-development, bringing views from Africa and its institutions to debates often constructed and conducted in the West. Whilst commending the work of women's movements and NGO's in furthering the educational cause, it criticises fashionable neo-liberal economic/educational policies which are diverting researchers not institutions, thus diminishing local universities and women. The volume also presents the results of a survey of female undergraduates at the University of Makerere, which give rise to discussions about family, societal, and institutional influences on women's access to higher education. This is a welcome book on women in higher education written by an African female academic, insider, and popular and outstanding contributor to the progress of women in higher education in East Africa.
