Are
You
a
Boy
or
a
Girl?
Conversations
about
Gender
in
Elementary
Classrooms
by
Amy
E.
Ryken,
Associate
Professor,
School
of
Education,
University
of
Puget
Sound
This book reveals conversations I’ve had with elementary students inquiring
about my gender. By making these conversations visible I question the binary
framing of gender, consider how to foster dialogue about gender expression, and
explore how gender is framed in elementary classrooms and society. My
hope
is
that
the
book
will
sponsor
conversations
about
gender
and
how
adults
might
engage
young
children
in
dialogue
about
sameness
and
difference.
