Research on children has not been integrated well into feminist scholarship. Women's studies scholars address intersections of gender, race, ethnicity, class, and sexual orientation across a range of topics, including information technology. However, age typically is ignored, even though these intersections have a different effect on, and different issues for, babies, children, adolescents, young adults, and aging adults. Metaphors derived from cultural constructions of masculinity have dominated the study of cognitive development. Four main categories of metaphor are development as argument, survival of the fittest, arrow, and building. Argument depicts development as progress through conflict, for example, when a child's more advanced and less advanced concepts about the world conflict with each other. In contrast, developmentalists could have used feminist metaphors of development such as friendship, conversation, apprenticeship, and narrative that highlight social interchange as both process and end point, the development of relational thought through a process of relatedness. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Frontiers: A Journal of Women Studies is the property of University of Nebraska Press and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
