Summary

The dichotomy between equality and difference is a central issue in both feminist and education debates. Georgina Tsolidis examines this dichotomy with particular reference to gender, ethnicity and schooling. She argues that in the context of current reformist policies, the schooling experiences of ethnic minority girls provide insights into ways of challenging this dichotomy.

Author Biography

Georgina Tsolidis is a senior lecturer in the Faculty of Education at Monash University.
