Section on webpage: Feminist Pedagogy – General
Tenets: Building equity, trust, mutual respect, and support. Presenting knowledge as constructed. Examining how gender, intersecting with other social categories, structures our lives, learning, and knowledge production, access to resources and information. Uncovering the causes of inequality and leveraging resources toward undoing power structures. Honoring diversity and lived experiences through intersectional approaches. Considering alternative histories and narratives.
Annotation: Gendered Subjects combines a number of classic statements on feminist pedagogy from the 1970s with recent original essays making significant and original contributions to the field. As the new scholarship on women has changed the content and structure of knowledge in every field, so this collection aims to mirror this impact on feminist pedagogy, with articles ranging from broad theoretical perspectives on the realities of the classroom to international explorations on how race, gender and class, and political orientation inform feminist enquiry.
