Feminist Pedagogy – Online

Tenets:

Connecting to the personal and to communities outside of academia. Building equity, trust, mutual respect, and support. Presenting knowledge as constructed. Examining how gender, intersecting with other social categories, structures our lives, learning, and knowledge production, access to resources and information. Uncovering the causes of inequality and leveraging resources toward undoing power structures. Honoring diversity and lived experiences through intersectional approaches. Using technology intentionally to build communities and enhance learning.

Annotation:

A work concerned with the experience of Black women in education, both in terms of pedagogy of Black women, by Black women, and for Black women, but also in terms of strategies that were developed due to marginality and isolation. This work focuses on the cultivation of an inclusive mindset by breaking down Western instruction procedures in terms of their exclusivity and chauvinism. There are three primary sections that the work is separated into: classroom power dynamics, the methodology of teaching writing skills, and mutual struggle for a better university.
