- It is the first work to place contemporary gendered discourses of learning in the context of historical discourses of genius. This allows for a broadening of understanding beyond that locating girlhood within contemporary neoliberal and postfeminist discourses of aspiration and self-regulation; it has led other scholars to reconsider their data and the conclusions they have drawn surrounding girlhood and neoliberalism. The research design is also innovative in its blending of sources within the school, online, and media worlds that girls inhabit. The design has informed research such as the ESRC-funded Celebrity and Youth project (see www.celebyouth).
