Equal opportunities in the professions
The paper identifies gendered power relations as a key issue for research into equal opportunities in the professions. It brings research in history and sociology to bear on each other. It argues that from the early modern period particular hegemonic masculinities were institutionalized in the changing power relations of the State, universities and professions, from which women were marginalized as the teachers of the poor. Following a major rest…

What is behind Saturn's Rings
This paper assesses a small‐scale study designed to illuminate the hitherto hidden processes underlying the underrepresentation of women and members of minority ethnic groups in the academic profession. Previous studies of the academic profession point to the importance of academic power and the significance of ‘gatekeepers’ controlling the careers of aspirants in particular subject communities. These studies have begun to acknowledge gender issu…
Academic Snakes and Merit Ladders
Evidence from the life history of a woman academic is used to support the argument that understandings of the underrepresentation of women in senior positions in higher education, the so‐called glass ceiling’, require concepts about the interaction of process and structure. A radical reconceptualisation of the notion of academic merit encompassing diversity rather than a single hegemonic masculinity and measures advancing women as a group are req…
The Private Schooling of Girls
History of Education Quarterly- This is a tantalizing volume of essays for those interested in the dynamics of gender, power, and socialization...

Reconstructing Popular Childhoods
For the greater part of the nineteenth century experiences of popular childhoods were rooted in family economies to which children were expected to contribute. Family economies were diverse and family‐controlled with children making a range of contributions depending on age and gender within local economies and subcultures. While older children, especially boys, entered paid employment if possible, younger children and girls undertook unpaid dome…
Effective and ineffective equal opportunities policies in higher education
This article examines equal opportunities polices (EOPs) in higher education - the supply side of senior staff in management and the professions. In the United Kingdom (UK) EOPs have been intro duced as a result of the law. The article shows that their effect on, access and employment in institutions of higher education (HEIs) has been marginal. The analysis suggests that the belief in the rhetoric of equality in the chariers of institutions, the…

Assessing the impact of legislation on special education policy ‐‐ An historical analysis
For a century following the introduction and enforcement of compulsory school attendance after 1870, special education developed along increasingly categorized and segregated lines. The Warnock Report in 1978 made comprehensive recommendations redirecting and reversing these policies towards greater flexibility and integration. Such radical change required responses and political will. Like much previous legislation in special education, the 1981…

The Class Relations of Compulsory School Attendance
One of the most vigorous debates in the history of education in recent years has been about the relation of education to industrialization, in particular how since the early nineteenth century, industrialization has influenced the development of state-supported systems of education requiring universal, compulsory school attendance. Interest in these issues has not been confined solely to historians of education. Sociologists and political scienti…
