The sociology of education's examination of gender and inclusivity analyzes how social structures and power dynamics influence educational experiences and outcomes for different genders. This field explores how gender inequalities are perpetuated or challenged through school policies, curriculum, teacher-student interactions, and the creation of inclusive learning environments for all students, regardless of gender identity or other marginalized identities. Strategies to promote inclusivity include training educators on gender-responsive pedagogy, addressing stereotypes in learning materials, and creating supportive school cultures.
