Description
What does it mean to be pedagogical in a post-truth landscape How might feminist thought and action work to intervene in this environment Gender in an Era of Post-truth Populism draws together leading feminist scholars of gender and education to explore the current significance of the rise of populist policies and discourses and the challenges it poses to the hard-won battles regarding the rights of women, immigrants, and minorities. Offering the first detailed feminist intervention in this space, the collection explores the significance of populism for feminist pedagogies and practices in relation to gender and education. This exploration has significance for broader and urgent questions of our times regarding knowledge, authority, truth, power and harm and considers the potential for feminist interventions in relation to pedagogies and activisms to speak back and disrupt populist agendas.
Reviews
An extremely refreshing, clear, cohesive, well-researched, and well-written collection on the timeliest of topics by leading scholars across the trajectory - it captures so very well the times through which we are living. * Lauren Ila Misiaszek, Associate Professor, Institute of International and Comparative Education, Faculty of Education, Beijing Normal University, China *
