- Abstract
Achieving gender equality in education is one of the key goals of China’s educational modernization and democratization and a fundamental means of achieving gender equality in China. This paper takes a perspective of the sociology of knowledge to reflect on and examine the tradition of gender education in China since the second half of the nineteenth century, analyzing why and how the institutions, ideas and knowledge about gender equality education have been formed and changed, and how they have interacted with different historical traditions and social situations in a subtle and complex way, which is the key to understanding the state of gender equality education today. At the same time, in today’s mediated age, the media’s all-around penetration of society has naturally given it a broader implicit educational function. In the new environment created by internet technology, the media bias ignored by classical sociology of knowledge has become an important variable in its own right. New technologies and new media platforms also offer new possibilities for stability breakthroughs beyond mainstream education. However, it is important to avoid falling into blind techno-optimism and be wary of alienation and assimilation under the triple logic of capitalism, politics and technology.
