  In Roundtable Session: 61.068-6 - Critical Feminism in Education: Discourses and Dialogue

Abstract

This paper seeks to critically examine specific interactions of two sessional instructors within their respective classrooms during an intensive 10-week course entitled, “Diversity in Learning” for pre-service teachers in a Canadian post-secondary institution. Engaging with Feminist standpoint discourses and an autoethnographic approach, the authors interweave a myriad of reflexive experiences with the “Self” and “Other” to critically examine how identity intersects with the teaching and learning of race, ethnicity, religion, privilege, and power.
