Introduces new conceptual frameworks for girls studies.Presenting cuttingedge research from transnational scholars and activists, Difficult Dialogues about TwentyFirstCentury Girls introduces original methodologies and girlcentered program design to the field of girls studies. The editors pair progressive girls studies research on topics such as differential privilege, voice, cultural values, and access to material resources, with provocative questions in order to further the thinking about issues that are often marginalized or overlooked in feminist domains. In addition, the book serves as a manual for educators and activists, designed to promote critical discussions that are accessible and includes a final dialogue with contemporary scholars about their work and the current direction of the field.
