Sociology / Unit 8 Soc 1378 short lesson, about 20 seconds
Feminist Theory on Education
Captions available
The idea
Feminist theory, taught at Soc 0041, applies here to schooling, examining how earnings gaps by sex persist after graduation even where enrollment is equal.
In practice
A 1972 U.S. law prohibiting sex discrimination in education addressed access; earnings gaps between male and female graduates of the same programs persisted regardless.
Where people slip
This entry applies Unit 1's framework rather than introducing feminist theory as new content.
