摘要

从历史上看，关于非洲性别现实的知识主要是通过西方女权主义的经典来了解的。然而，随着时间的推移，受非洲女权主义和非洲性别学者的影响，出现了另一种理论。本文取材于一项研究，该研究旨在说明马拉维性别现实的另类和非殖民知识，并特别关注参与者的代理表达。非洲妇女主义被用于理解参与者的数据，因为它植根于强调非洲妇女和男子(如参与研究的人)独特的社会文化和历史背景。本文扩展了性别教育和研究中“抵抗主导话语”的知识。

‘What is gender to you?’: An Africana Womanist take on perceptions of gender reality on women’s agency among a rural Malawian Community

ABSTRACT Historically, knowledge about African gender reality has predominantly been through a Western canon of feminism. However, overtime, there have been alternative theorisations influenced by African feminisms and African gender scholars. This article draws from a study that aims to illustrate alternative and decolonial knowledge about Malawian gender reality with a specific focus on participants’ expressions of agency. Africana Womanism is utilised in making sense of participant data as it is rooted in an emphasis of the unique socio-cultural and historical context of African women and men such as those participating in the study. The article extends knowledge on ‘resisting dominant discourses’ within gender education and research.

期刊介绍： Gender and Education grew out of feminist politics and a social justice agenda and is committed to developing multi-disciplinary and critical discussions of gender and education. The journal is particularly interested in the place of gender in relation to other key differences and seeks to further feminist knowledge, philosophies, theory, action and debate. The Editors are actively committed to making the journal an interactive platform that includes global perspectives on education, gender and culture. Submissions to the journal should examine and theorize the interrelated experiences of gendered subjects including women, girls, men, boys, and gender-diverse individuals. Papers should consider how gender shapes and is shaped by other social, cultural, discursive, affective and material dimensions of difference. Gender and Education expects articles to engage in feminist debate, to draw upon a range of theoretical frameworks and to go beyond simple descriptions. Education is interpreted in a broad sense to cover both formal and informal aspects, including pre-school, primary, and secondary education; families and youth cultures inside and outside schools; adult, community, further and higher education; vocational education and training; media education; and parental education.
