About the Series
This Association webinar series aims to build feminist pedagogy networks nationally across Gender Studies Units, provide resources and co-develop strategies for educational resistance and liberation, and offer sanctuaries for faculty, staff, students, and community members who teach Women's Gender, and Sexuality studies (WGSS) - what we consider Feminist Studies - both in the formal classroom and in community-learning spaces. The Feminist Pedagogy Series is an effort of our Governing Council's Community Spaces initiative!
In this series, we'll host dialogues with scholar-practitioner-activists about the ways they've navigated teaching WGSS and invite attendees to participate in hands-on, applied workshops that seek to nurture feminist learning and teaching with peer educators and students. We take particular care to center graduate teaching assistants, contingent and junior faculty, and related educators who are vulnerable to administrative, political disruption and censorship in their classrooms and whose work oftentimes underpins the survival of WGSS departments, programs, and gender equity centers.
Our aspiration is to create a space where WGSS educators can discuss real, ongoing challenges related to teaching at their respective institutions and community spaces, and immerse ourselves in pedagogical joy to survive and thrive through them together.
