Description
This thesis examines the issue of teacher authority in a boys' secondary school in London, UK on two distinct levels. The first draws attention to the ways in which women teachers' authority is questioned and challenged by their pupils and consequently undermines their professional status. The second level analyses these social relations by questioning how authority has been historically constructed and continues to be maintained through gender regimes and through masculinity more broadly. The gender regime at the research site is critiqued using a critical ethnographic method. The data analyses will reveal that a redefinition of authority would lend itself to legitimizing the professional status of women teachers as well as emphasizing the importance of positive pupil-teacher relationships to bring about social change in school communities and in a wider social sphere.
