Race, Gender, and Curriculum Theorizing: Working in Womanish Ways: Race and Education in the Twenty-First Century

The depth and breadth of Black women s contributions has yet to be represented as a significant and collective body of work in the field of Curriculum Theory. Race, Gender, and Curriculum Theorizing: Working in Womanish Ways is an effort to recognize and represent, to some extent, the significance of Black feminist and womanist theorizing within curriculum theorizing. In this collection, a vibrant group of women of color who do curriculum work reflect on a Black feminist/womanist scholar, text, and/or concept and speak to how it has both influenced and enriched their work as scholar-activists. Black feminist and womanist theorizing plays a dynamic and vital role in the development of women of color in academia, and in this way gets folded into our thinking and doing as scholar-activists who teach, write, profess, express, organize, engage community, educate, do curriculum theory, heal, and love in the struggle for a more just world."
