‘I Could Have Told You That Wouldn’t Work’: Cyberfeminist Pedagogy in Action

Author(s):	Richards, R. S.
Date:	2011
Publication:	Feminist Teacher
Citation:	Richards, R. S. (2011). ‘I Could Have Told You That Wouldn’t Work’: Cyberfeminist Pedagogy in Action. Feminist Teacher 22(1), 5–22. https://doi.org/10.5406/femteacher.22.1.0005.

Section on webpage:	Feminist Pedagogy – Online
Tenets:	Promoting reflexivity. Building equity, trust, mutual respect, and support. Presenting knowledge as constructed. Examining the “why” in addition to the “what”. Using technology intentionally to build communities and enhance learning.
Annotation:	In this article, the author argues that feminist teachers who embrace Web 2.0 technologies as part of their teaching praxis need to theorize and articulate what they are calling cyberfeminist pedagogy. Cyberfeminist pedagogy, as the name implies, would draw on the theories and praxes informed by the diversity and emerging scholarship of cyberfeminism.
