The project combines a cluster of 10 related projects studying boys and girls at different age levels and in the contexts of school, family and leisure activities. They focus on the relation between societal changes in gender and changes in the requiremen ts of skills and competence of citizenship today. How are such requirements transmitted by grown ups to children in terms of norms and expectations in the areas of school, family and leisure? Gender will be the main analytic dimension in the project, but complexity, ambivalence and multiplicity of masculinities and femininities, among and within individuals, will be emphasised, as well as the intersecting character of different social categories. A key question will be whether children and adults in speci fic settings operate with the same implicit gender conceptions, and whether they attach different symbolic gender to different tasks, expectations and norms. In this project boys and girls will be studied together, different gender producing arenas will b e seen in relation to each other, and these will be analysed both as institutional agents and as settings for peer-cultures. A special emphasis will be placed on the concept of time. Four theoretical and methodological key issues will be adressed: reconne cting agency and socialisation, connecting the discursive and the psycho-social self, connecting different conceptions of gender in transition, and testing out new methodologies with children.
