Credits: 2.25 CEUs or 22.5 PDHs
By the end of the course, students will be able to define feminist pedagogy, identify and describe specific ways in which feminist pedagogy is enacted, reflect on the impact of feminist approaches to library work, and develop a plan for revamping a library resource or service through a feminist lens. This is a revised and expanded version of the 4-week feminist pedagogy course with new content and assignments. This course relies heavily on interactive discussion each week, and course participants will only reap the full benefits of this course through active, engaged participation.
Course Description
Feminist pedagogy is an educational approach informed by feminist theory. Students in this six-week course will engage with and explore feminist pedagogy through assigned readings and interactive online discussion. Central questions that will guide the course include: What is feminism? What is feminist pedagogy? What does it look like, and what are its concerns? How might feminist pedagogy inform library instruction, the reference desk (face-to-face or virtual), or any other service or resources the library provides?
