She doesn't intend to deal with questions of curriculum development or textual interpretation. Rather, this is a book that tries to figure out what the problems in feminist teaching are, and to find ways to talk about them. Back then, she wanted to know how to draw up a syllabus, how to set reasonable course requirements. Today, I want to understand what it means for me to teach social-justice subjects such as gender, race, and sexual orientation. Throughout the book, she dishes out more questions than answers.
Social movements can challenge and change the social order.
Ms. Fisher, who wants to end that cycle, hopes that her own experiences as a feminist educator will start a conversation about feminist teaching rather than end one. We will post selected comments.
