Meeting the Challenge : Innovative Feminist Pedagogies in Action by Maralee Mayberry (Editor), Ellen Cronan Rose (Editor), Jonathan Alexander (Contributor)

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.

Text includes "Teacher Involvement and Transformative Power on a Gender Issues Discussion List,"  by Jonathan Alexander with Kathleen Boardman, Margaret Barber, and Pete Pinney.
