Pedagogies of Using Ms. in the Classroom

Session Submission Type: Roundtable

Abstract

Ms. in the Classroom is an innovative program that facilitates the use of classic and current articles from Ms. magazine as texts in the women’s studies classroom. This roundtable consists of faculty members who have used Ms. In the Classroom and the new Ms. Digital Readers for both traditional and online courses. Participants will discuss why and how they use these texts and the role that Ms. can play in movement building by circulating new knowledge, connecting activists and scholars nationally and internationally, and “decolonizing our radical imaginations” (Boggs).
