ROMERO, Guillermo. School gender regimes as strategic educational geopolitics. contributions to thinking about the transversality of integral sex education. La ventana [online]. 2023, vol.7, n.57, pp.41-74.  Epub Feb 07, 2023. ISSN 1405-9436.  https://doi.org/10.32870/lv.v7i57.7489.

The article explores the importance of considering “gender regimes” as strategic enclaves in the processes of mainstreaming comprehensive sex education policies in high school. The analysis is based on a diverse set of empirical data constructed in an ethnographic investigation carried out between 2017 and 2018 in a high school in Gran La Plata, Argentina. From the description of a gender regime called “virile” and within the framework of an institutional culture characterized as “normative”, the paper reveals some limitations of a way of mainstreaming comprehensive sex education that here is called “curricular” and it offers some clues to consider in which ways an approach that considers the totality of institutional dynamics in their pedagogical dimension could enhance the scope of a policy aimed at combating gender inequalities.

Keywords : comprehensive sex education; gender regimes; high school; gender mainstreaming; educational ethnography.
