Abstract
- This critical, ethnographic action research project presents the heavily gendered playground interactions between 14 girls and 16 boys at a state funded, mixed-sex, multicultural primary school in the heart of London. Through casting a critical eye on the notion of spatiality and human territoriality and the role in which schools play when creating prescriptive socialising spaces, I aim to transform social possibilities for the majority of girls and some boys in my sample size of 30. I construct an immersive, age-appropriate, fairytale-inspired experience that seeks to subvert the 'typical' gender binary and attain social justice for those who feel ostracised in this communal socialising space on account of biological sex.
