Feminist Pedagogy: Lessons for the Long View

Session Submission Type: Roundtable

Abstract

The current moment presents new and urgent challenges to those of us who deploy feminist pedagogy as a tool of resistance: environmental collapse, right-wing extremism openly espoused in government, attacks on the teaching of history, state sanctioned violence both inside and outside our schools, and more. This roundtable asks what established feminist pedagogical strategies continue to serve us into today’s classroom, and what new strategies are called for to face today’s challenges? Our focus is on specific teaching strategies: we will draw on the accumulated wisdom of audience members and presenters to generate take-aways of use to us all.
