A Message from the Feminist Pedagogy Workgroup

As we continue redesigning and adding content to our website, the feminist pedagogy workgroup asks our colleagues for insights, assignments, and other materials. Primarily, we would like lessons and assignments that, to quote our website, "urge students to deeply question the politics of domination. Doing so first and necessarily involves asking students to question the instructor's own power over them as a teacher inside the classroom. In theory, doing so is the initial step towards encouraging students to question the politics of domination outside of the classroom." If you have created anything for your classroom that fits this description, we would love to send it into cyberspace via our website (http://www.cwrl.utexas.edu/feministpedagogy).

Additionally, we would like to ask that you visit our website and send us any feedback that you may have about it (Is the site informative? Is it useful? What might make it more useful? What would you like to see posted on the site?).

We would also like to let fellow labsters know about an upcoming presentation by Susannah Stern entitled “Gender, Youth, Cultural Production and the Internet," which will take place in Gebauer, Room 3.312 on April 26, Noon-1:30 p.m. It is part of the Gender and Technology Speaker Series which “brings together leading scholars to address the gendered implications of new technologies.” See the website of the Center for Women's and Gender Studies for more information.
