Feminist pedagogy in higher education : critical theory and practice / Tracy Penny Light, Jane Nicholas and Renée Bondy, editors.

Light, Tracy Penny, 1970- (author,, editor.). Nicholas, Jane, 1977- (author,, editor.). Bondy, Renée, (author,, editor.).

Résumé :

"Contributors from a variety of disciplines provide a critical context for the relationship between feminist pedagogy and academic feminism by exploring the complex ways that critical perspectives can be brought into the classroom. This book discusses the processes employed to engage learners by challenging them to ask tough questions and craft complex answers, wrestle with timely problems and posit innovative solutions, and grapple with ethical dilemmas for which they seek just resolutions. Diverse experiences, interests, and perspectives--together with the various teaching and learning styles that participants bring to twenty-first-century universities--necessitate inventive and evolving pedagogical approaches, and these are explored from a critical perspective. The contributors collectively consider the implications of the theory/practice divide, which remains central within academic feminism's role as both a site of social and gender justice and as a part of the academy, and map out some of the ways in which academic feminism is located within the academy today." -- Publisher's description.

    Contributed by educators working in various disciplines in North America, the UK, and Australia, the 15 essays in this volume examine feminist pedagogy in higher education. They address the influence of corporatization on teaching and learning; the role of reflexivity in learning, with discussion of fat studies, the use of book clubs, a course on women and anger, and philosophy; and new directions, such as teaching Canadian history, teaching about female genital mutilation, teaching gender history, the effects of the media, and sexuality in the classroom. The essays were adapted from a panel presentation at the Canadian Conference of Women's History (CCWH-CCHF) in August 2010, “Edging Forward, Acting Up: Gender and Women's History at the Cutting Edge of Scholarship and Social Action,” held in Vancouver.
