Meeting the Challenge

by E. Cronan Rose (Editor), Maralee Mayberry (Editor)

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.

I really liked this book. It has a lot of practical discussion about real classrooms and discusses a wide variety of situations, from "cyberclasses" to large lectures to composition courses to biology courses to teaching at religiously affiliated schools. I would recommend it for all instructors of college students, regardless of your level of commitment to a specifically feminist pedagogical practice.
