Gender and literacy

Am supposed to be trying to write a paper for Gender and Education but cannot force myself as am so much more interested in digital culture stuff these days.
Have seen though that the Nat literacy Trust have improved their site and this page looks handy.

Am enjoying rereading this though which helped Guy and I decide to do our autoethnographic work.

Can you combine the two and writer about gender, digital culture and education? Is it just me or does it seem like boys and literacy is the hot topic of the moment in gender education?

No it's not just you at all ..
Thanks very much for the suggestion - I have tried to put as much digital stuff as poss in there but in fact am locked into a project (govt funded) and so cannot digress really from what we have been doing.
Part of the paper is challenging the focus on boys ... but oh it is a drag!!
I feel it is the topic of yester year but at the same time want to get a paper out of the project!!

Ohhh I like the fact that you are going to challenge the focus - brilliant!! It's funny how some writing is a drag and some is just so exciting that you can't stop. Do you think readers can tell the difference? (I hope not for both our sakes!)

Aha glad you think it's brilliant!! I hope the editors do!! Am submitting to Gender and Education but am not sure they will like it. I am so bored with it I think they wil be too - but as you say it is hard to tell if they can tell ...
I think writing that you take too long over goes stale - which is why some people hate their PhD work before they finish it.
