Classroom Border Crossings: Incorporating Feminist and Liberative Pedagogies in Your CSET Classroom

Summary form only given, as follows. The complete presentation was not made available for publication as part of the conference proceedings. Effective teachers use a variety of pedagogies to engage a wider diversity of students, providing a more equitable classroom. In this workshop, participants will explore the use of feminist and liberative pedagogies in CSET classrooms. These pedagogies are founded on the ideals of social justice and democracy. The workshop will include discussions of classroom management strategies, assessment and evaluation of student learning, and critiques and redesign of the engineering process. Participants will leave the workshop with a list of concrete ideas for implementing feminist and liberative pedagogies and an annotated bibliography of helpful references. This workshop continues the collaborative work of these authors presented in a 2004 Special Session [which won the Helen Plants Award for Best Nontraditional Session] and a 2005 Paper Session at FIE.
