“…Interest in gender and schooling previously focused on girls' disadvantages, with renewed interest in boys' experiences and masculinities since the 1990s (Skelton, Francis and Smulyan, 2006) and in non-binary genders. Gender a ects individual experience, in combination with other diversities and historical contexts (Francis, 2006;Villa Lever, 2018).…”

T his chapter assesses how education responds to diversity and interconnected inequality, and how these responses work towards human ourishing and social justice. It examines di erent forms of diversity, namely, race/ ethnicity/language, religion, gender, sexuality, social class, disability and neurodiversity (i.e. learning di erences); as well as how these intersect. Sexuality and neurodiversity are relatively recent additions to the diversity discussion. While o cially advocating for 'equal educational opportunities', governments variously prioritize di erent forms of diversity, guided by historical, political, social and economic contexts. Measures to address diversity have names such as 'multicultural', 'inclusive', 'human rights' and 'diversity and social justice' education. Policy implementation varies across societies and can be enhanced by e ective monitoring, increased funding and relative autonomy of local actors to interpret policies to suit local circumstances. Given the critical role that teachers play, teacher education programmes should prepare culturally responsive educators.

“…Many studies have suggested that there is still a long way to go to reduce gender gaps in current society (OECD, 2017). In the educational field, special attention needs to be paid to inequalities in different areas and aspects, such as: educational learning outcomes (Borgonovi, Ferrara, & Maghnouj, 2018); future science career plans (Sikora, 2019); awareness of sustainability (Olsson & Gericke, 2017); literacy and numeracy (Borgonovi, Choi, & Paccagnella, 2018); the STEM field (Hussénius, 2020;Reinking & Martin, 2018;Witherspoon & Schunn, 2020); time spent on assignments (Gershenson & Holt, 2015); university spaces (Lever, 2020); reading competence (Torppa, Eklund, Sulkunen, Niemi, & Ahonen, 2018); primary education teachers (Mistry & Sood, 2016); academics in higher education (Baker, 2016); and students' self-assessment (Liu, 2018).…”

An increased use of YouTube in education has resulted in the emergence of a large number of audiovisual educational content creators known as EduTubers. Our research considers gender as a relevant variable within this group by analysing the 204 most successful channels in Spain so as to identify the existence of models and reference points throughout the area of informal education. The study methodology is based on a qualitative analysis instrument that provides descriptive statistics and contingency tables. The results provide original evidence on the topic. We reflect on the possible existence of a gender gap among EduTubers, concluding that there is actually one. After identifying the significant factors regarding to this inequality, they were grouped together into four categories: media exposure level; women’s participation in the educational stages that are most in demand on YouTube; elements and factors determining the success of videos; and time spent on the channel as a content creator. A suggestion is made of possible steps to reduce this gender gap through emotional support and training aimed at women who wish to become EduTubers, as well as via social change that facilitates the presence of women as influential figures in informal education.
