dc.description.abstractThe aim of this study is to explore how the gendered policies of Irans Islamic Republic are represented in the grade one Persian textbook, which is used throughout the state-run education system. Specifically, this study compares the 1983 version of the grade one textbook, which was introduced following the Revolution in 1979, to the latest edition from 2018. Content-analysis is used to investigate the way females and males are represented in grade one textbook narratives, illustrations, and expressions under the Islamic Republics educational system. My examination shows there is a larger representation of males than females in both textbooks. Moreover, males and females are depicted to normalize patriarchal views of gender. Both textbooks also uphold fundamentalist Islamic values. My examination did reveal a change in gender representation between the two textbooks insofar the 2018 edition places more emphasis on family life and the role of women as mothers.
