Content Description: 

Alison Jones challenges Dale Spenders' assumption that power dynamics in single sex schools give girls the 'chance to speak' by sharing the results of an ethnographic study. She illustrates the race based discrimination girls experience in accessing the attention of the teacher and for opportunities to 'be heard'.
