BOOKS BY ELENA GIROTTI

La presenza delle donne nelle professioni educative costituisce un fenomeno storicamente ascrivibile al riproporsi di stereotipi e pregiudizi socio-culturali di lunga durata. Le Autrici del volume, che compongono il gruppo di lavoro della Siped Educazione e studi di genere tra teoria e storia, ne indagano le radici storico-educative, mostrando la dinamicità dei percorsi formativi e identitari contenuti dentro una complessa dialettica fra norma e liberazione.

The present volume examines the European Schools system focusing on the citizenship education they promote and their curriculum from the late 1950s to the early 1990s. A literature review is presented to understand how previous research has described these Schools and their sketched image, which - in the author’s view - is fairly static and accompanied by a value judgement. The volume goes through the prescriptive level of the curriculum of the European Schools in an attempt to disentangle the entanglements and retrace the national and international elements and influences that have contributed to its constitution.
