About the Presentation
Although scholars have long argued that boys’ academic engagement is undercut by dominant masculinity norms, these norms have been largely invisible in quantitative research. Instead, researchers have been restricted to documenting disparities by binary sex, collapsing the entire gender spectrum into a 0 or 1. Analyzing four decades of high school cohort studies, the current study moves beyond this binary approach to advance a new perspective on masculinity and the rising gender gap in education.
