A Feminist Pedagogy of Research-Inspired Teaching: Transnational Feminist Solidarities

• In Event: Transgressive Feminist Pedagogies: Bridging Research and Teaching to Rethink the Nation in the Feminist Classroom

Abstract

This paper will discuss the design of an undergraduate course called “Transnational Feminist Solidarities,” which is born directly out of the presenter’s dissertation research on transnational interconnectivities. The presenter will address the ways in which she has incorporated her research findings as inspirational learning tools in the design of the course. The course, similar to the presenter’s research, seeks to explore the formations and operations of transnational feminist solidarities in the contemporary world. Rather than taking a comparative approach to women’s realities and activisms, it pursues a relational/connectionist framework, which is prompted by the lessons learnt in the research process.
