Critical Pedagogy: Teaching "Difference" in Race and Gender Studies.
Dawson-Threat, Janice
Thresholds in Education, v22 n3-4 p16-22 Aug-Nov 1995
Critical pedagogy requires flexible, adventurous teachers who question the politics of knowledge. Cross-disciplinary women's and black studies programs reformulate knowledge and attempt to reconstruct social imagination in the service of human freedom. A University of Iowa women's studies course uses strategies to help students reconstruct traditional knowledge and link cultural history with their own reality. (MLH)
