The issues explored in The Feminist Classroom are as timely and
controversial today as they were when the book first appeared six
years ago. This expanded edition offers new material that rereads
and updates previous chapters, including a major new chapter on the
role of race. The authors offer specific new classroom examples of
how assumptions of privilege, specifically the workings of
unacknowledged whiteness, shape classroom discourses. This edition
also goes beyond the classroom, to examine the present context of
American higher education. Drawing on in-depth interviews and using
the actual words of students and teachers, the authors take the
reader into classrooms at six colleges and universities - Lewis and
Clark College, Wheaton College, the University of Arizona, Towson
State University, Spelman College, and San Francisco State
University. The result is an intimate view of the pedagogical
approaches of seventeen feminist college professors. Feminist
scholars have demonstrated that American higher education has long
represented a white, male, privileged minority. The professors here
bring together the twin upheavals that have challenged this
tradition: namely a rapidly changing student body and the more
inclusive knowledge of feminist and multicultural scholarship. They
uncover the voices, concerns and experiences of groups hitherto
marginalized in higher education: women, people of color and
working class students. Through concrete examples of classroom
practice, the work of these professors challenge the traditional
split between knowledge and pedagogy that has long characterized
higher education.
