Feminist Teaching in Theory and Practice: Situating Power and Knowledge in Poststructural Classrooms

Through the use of qualitative methods and poststructuralist feminist approaches, this volume addresses the multiple factors and perspectives that contribute to the many forms of feminist teaching. Incorporating a wide range of views based on conversations and observations with 22 teachers, the author encourages readers to broaden their understanding of feminist teaching while also providing suggestions for practice. With a focus on circumventing existing structures to create new possibilities for the classroom, the text examines power relations, knowledge negotiations, approaches to difference, and language usage through speech and silence.
