Negotiating Gendered Identities in Primary School

Focusing on young children's perspectives during their later primary school years, this open access book examines the dynamics of friendships, social hierarchies, and identities among boys and girls. It delves into how children perceive themselves, the meanings of gender, and the influences of social media on their lives outside the classroom. Based on interviews from a middle-class state school and a fee-paying preparatory school in London, the findings offer valuable insights for educators and scholars interested in primary education and gender studies.
