"I believe that through this book you will identify with the human agency associated with teaching and learning, you will be encouraged to create socially transforming educational environments, and you will reflect upon ways to disrupt the hegemonic reality that so often permeates the science experiences of students and leads to their being marginalized and oppressed. Taking action on the inspirations offered in Feminist Science Education will be as liberating for you as it will be for your students."
—William C. Kyle, Jr.,
University of Missouri–St. Louis
This volume presents a case for liberatory science education from a feminist perspective. Based on a two-year teacher-research study, Feminist Science Education questions and challenges how power and knowledge relationships position teachers, students, and science with and against one another in the classroom. Using stories about life in and out of the classroom, this book describes the impact that exploring this situated nature of science and teaching has for transforming science education.
Chapters: Feminist Liberatory Science Education? • Positionality and the Politics of Feminist Teacher Research • Positioning Science Through Oral Histories • Learning About Ourselves Inside of Science, Outside of Science • Centering Lived Experience • Revisioning Science Through Lived Experience • Repositioning the Discourses: Framing a Science for All
