Inside Feminist Classrooms: An Ethnographic Approach.
Maher, Frances; Tetreault, Mary Kay Thompson
New Directions for Teaching and Learning, No. 49 (Teaching for Diversity) p57-74 Spr 1992
Feminist teaching practices, by questioning traditional epistemology and distribution of power, offer special advantages in the culturally diverse classroom, where the valuing of different perspectives is essential. A study of two feminist teachers demonstrates how they attempt to create new kinds of classroom cultures through mastery, voice, authority, and positionality. (Author/MSE)
