The relation between education and gender identity formation is a contested terrain: Located between reproducing society's status-quo and inhabiting the potential to resist this reproduction and making room for alternative being, education constitutes an ambivalent nexus. Nicole Haring investigates how gender norms with their intersections are negotiated in Austria's educational system. She presents results from a participatory intergenerational storytelling workshop as co-creation of knowledge, amplifiying the similarities and differences between generations of educators with regard to the interplay of education and gender.
