Woodies123 Posted March 26, 2013 Posted March 26, 2013 Hi I am in my second year of the foundation degree, thinking of questions for my action research topic, which will lead to the special project shortly! ahhh... I want to do something relating to gender role-play, or princess and superhero play maybe incorporating parents perception of gendered play? Any ideas, opinions or help would be much appreciated! Any ideas for a question title would be great too! Many thanks

Stargrower Posted March 26, 2013 Posted March 26, 2013 My dissertation was titled 'Does Gender Matter?' so I know there's a LOT of information out there! Two books I'd recommend are Superheroes in the Doll Corner by Vivian Paley and We Don't Play with Guns Here by Penny Holland. There is a lot of academic writing that can be found online too on the subject of gender roles in early years, gender and children's play etc etc. Good luck!
