Lean Forward: Tecno-Feminist Pedagogies Across Borders

• In Event: Trans/gressive Pedagogies

Abstract

Under the subtheme “ Technologizing Futures," this paper examines praxis and post-intercultural outcomes in teaching a global Women and Gender Studies (WGST) course that synchronously links WGST students/faculty at state universities in New York and Russia. The paper draws on the theoretical framework of Haraway’s (1988, 1985) cyborg and hooks (2006, 2001) global feminist visions as a lens to consider ways technological advances fused with feminist pedagogies (hooks, 1994) serve to revolutionize cultural/perceptual understandings of WGST-situated knowledge as taught across continents.
