About this book

This book provides a platform for male teachers to share how their professional and personal identities are enacted in the classroom. It draws on a range of international contexts to theoretically and conceptually link and integrate elaborate notions of masculinities in existing literature and discourse with the everyday realities of teachers across school, home and community.
