> Feminism interrogates the ways that gender and sexuality shape our society as a whole. Unsurprisingly, educational institutions and the student-teacher relationship in specific have been thoughtfully examined by feminist thinkers. These reflections have given rise to insightful critiques of the gendered assumptions and hierarchies often built into the classroom environment and creative proposals for alternative ways of learning together. The methods of feminist pedagogy embody these techniques, showing that freer, more equal, and more joyous forms of education will better empower students and teachers to produce knowledge, develop personally, and contribute to social change. But realizing these goals together will not be easy. Feminist pedagogy requires that both teacher and student challenge themselves to build a space of trust, respect, and critical reflection. Bringing our lives into the classroom, listening to others who we may disagree with, and carefully considering the truth of our feelings and beliefs are all skills that require practice and courage. Together, we will focus on developing these skills together through the construction of a feminist classroom.
