Gender mobility as reflected in everyday teachers’ discourse
Flamigni, Elettra
Gender mobility as reflected in everyday teachers’ discourse - 2014.
7
This contribution focuses on non-traditional pre-professional choices in Swiss vocational education and training, based on an analysis of the everyday discourse of house-painting and hairdressing teachers. The comparison between these discourses reveals significant disparities in the way teachers represent boys and girls having made atypical professional choice in terms of sex norms. A detailed content analysis shows how this gender mobility is reinterpreted, by complex processes of differentiation and hierarchisation, in order to reestablish a gendered hierarchy within these two vocational programs, with boys, minority or not, being considered better professionals.
