Section on webpage: Feminist Pedagogy – General
Tenets: Connecting to the personal and to communities outside of academia. 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. Cultivating self-care and boundaries.
Annotation: This article was originally part of a women’s conference in the late 1970s. In it, the author challenges fellow feminists to look at and understand difference. She argues that difference is generative and can be used as a tool for liberation.
