The Paradox of (In)Visibility: Fostering Self-Reflexivity in the Classroom
Keywords:
Feminist Pedagogy, Higher education, Neo-liberalismAbstract
Abstract
This paper engages with issues of representation, voice, and presence/absence in feminist theorizing in the context of increasingly neo-liberal sites of higher education. Focusing on the dynamics of a largely racially homogenous student body, the analysis seeks to conceptualize how we may foster self-reflexivity in our practices when encouraging students to engage ethically with “difference.”
Résumé
Cet article traite des enjeux de la représentation, de la voix et de la présence / l’absence dans les théories féministes dans le contexte de sites de plus en plus néo-libéraux d’éducation supérieure. L’analyse met l’accent sur un corps étudiant en grande partie homogène du point de vue racial, et elle vise à conceptualiser la façon dont nous favorisons l’autoréflexivité dans nos pratiques lorsque nous encourageons l’engagement éthique avec la « différence » par les étudiants.
