A Gendered Educational Agenda: What's Wrong with 10 Things I Hate About You?

A Film as Text by Erica Hateley. Hateley suggests that William Shakespeare's play The Taming of the Shrew, and Gil Junger's film 10 Things I Hate About You, which is based on the play, can be productively introduced into the classroom as texts that offer critical readers the opportunity to contest the values of education and gender contained within them, rather than as tools to reproduce outdated notions of gendered agency and cultural authority.
