Editorial Reviews

Book Description
This collection demonstrates how feminist pedagogy can be implemented in a variety of institutional and disciplinary settings. Unlike most of the current literature, it provides a vast array of examples of feminist pedagogy in action. It suggests practical ways of creating classroom environments open to feminist and anti-racist teaching, way feminists at universities can intervene in community programs and how to apply feminist pedagogy to new challenges such as distance education, cyberspace, fiscal constraints, and the changing political climate. Meeting the Challenge also looks to other nations for examples of how to successfully implement feminist pedagogy. --This text refers to the library binding edition of this title

Reviews
The publisher, University of Minnesota Press , August 13, 1997
Explores conflicts between older and younger feminists.
Composed of essays from academic women at various professional stages—from established scholars to junior professors to graduate students—this collection illuminates the debates of feminist histories and future legacies, while analyizing the challenges of “passing the torch.” Contributors: Diane Elam, Elizabeth Francis, Linda Frost, Jane Gallop, Dana Heller, Jane Kalbfleisch, Jeanne Marecek, Nancy K. Miller, Mona Narain, Angela M.S. Nelson, Judith Newton, Rebecca Dakin Quinn, Gita Rajan, Judith Roof, Theresa Ann Sears, Ruthe Thompson, Michele Wallace, Barbara A. White, and Lynda Zwinger. “This consistently lively, illuminating book addresses this material in many registers. As far as I know, it will be the first full book on this now passionately debated, urgent topic. Everyone will want to read it.” Ann Snitow “Moving beyond simple familial and evolutionary models, Generations offers academic feminists new ways to negotiate the familiar pressures of institutional life: hierarchy, competition, and distrust on the one hand, coalition, mentorship, and respect on the other.” Diana Fuss
