Gender Pedagogy: Teaching, Learning and Tracing Gender in Higher Education: Palgrave Studies in Gender and Education

Autor Emily F. Henderson
en Limba Engleză Electronic book text – 18 dec 2014

'Whoa', '[squeak]', 'oh là là': is this what learning gender sounds like? After all, gender is a troublesome term. When addressed in its full reactive potential, it has a tendency to unfix the reassuring certainties of teaching and learning, as well as researching and writing. Gender pedagogy unfolds as an account of what it means to learn gender, and furthermore what it means to teach gender learning, when it is impossible to fully know what is happening in a classroom, or virtual learning environment, that is designated a 'gender' space. As the chapters slip between a wide-angle perspective on Gender Studies in general and a micro-view of moments on a Master's course, it becomes clear that gender pedagogy is shaped by – and shapes – the environment in which it is situated, in this case a higher education institution. The theorisation of gender pedagogy is rooted in Derrida's concept of the 'trace', which reflects the unfixing properties of gender and even shakes up the writing of this 'book'.

Recenzii

"This book is characterized by its author as 'a thinking exercise'. It certainly is! This is a radical and creative invitation to consider how academic feminism across the political generations resources and replenishes claims to intellectual authority. Using Derrida's notions of 'the trace,' Emily F. Henderson opens her imaginary out to the complex encounters, misfires, misses and entrancing disturbances of 'feminist pedagogy' in a globalized classroom studying gender and development. Sensitive to how power can confound 'intention,' the book provides some innovative ways of reading how 'gender' always eludes its subjects making the task of the teacher and student entangled in self-contradiction but therein she argues lies the allure of tracing how gender speaks and how we might speak about gender." - Professor Valerie Hey, Centre for Higher Education and Equity Studies, University of Sussex, UK
 
"This book is a valuable and original piece of work, which stands out for its interactive engagement with the reader and for its extraordinary capacity to disentangle complex threads of analysis in an accessible but still extremely nuanced way. A true gem by a remarkable young writer!" - Maria do Mar Pereira, Deputy Director of the Centre for the Study of Women and Gender and Assistant Professor, University of Warwick, UK
