CHAPTER 8: Female Students’ Perspectives on Being Included in Curriculum Transformation in Higher Education

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: Drawing from a feminist theoretical lens to make its argument, the chapter explores the extent to which higher education curriculum transformation considers the needs of female students. To achieve its purposes, it reports on a selected group of female students’ perspectives on curriculum transformation at a South African University of Technology. Thematic content analysis of documentary evidence was applied to analyse data qualitatively from the feminist theory perspective. Three themes emerged from data: power dynamics, social structures and knowledge production.
