This edited collection addresses the institutional context and social issues in which teaching the women's studies introductory course is embedded and provides readers with practical classroom strategies to meet the challenges raised. The collection serves as a resource and preparatory text for all teachers of the course including experienced teachers, less experienced teachers, new faculty, and graduate student teaching assistants. The collection will also be of interest to educational scholars of feminist and progressive pedagogies and all teachers interested in innovative practices.
"The discipline of cultural studies compels teachers-paradoxically & politically-to undo the very processes of knowledge production that they engage in as teachers. The contributors to this collection are at their best when they use their day-to-day struggles as teachers to inform their responses to this pedagogical challenge."
