Abstract [sv]
Anne-Charlotte Ek diskuterar de pedagogiska verktyg hon använt
för att introducera svårtillgängliga feministiska texter när hon
undervisat i genusvetenskap. En central utgångspunkt för henne
är att understryka att all kunskapsproduktion och kunskapsförmedling
är situerad. Hon uppmanar oss att i vår undervisning
använda våra feministiska kunskapsteoretiska insikter.
Abstract [en]
The article discusses personal experiences gained by a teacher in gender
studies and how she has addressed challenges such as the theoretical
development and institutionalization of feminist theory on one hand, and
the increasingly widened enrollment to higher education on the other. The
argumentation is underpinned by concrete examples taken from a course
where feminist poststructuralism is introduced. Special reference is made
to Donna Haraway’s epistemological standpoint that all knowledge production
is situated and that knowledge, in itself, always has social implications.
If we transfer these insights to our classrooms, we need to consider how
we, as teachers, articulate, motivate and establish our own culture of academic
knowledge production. The power, in this situation, concerns how
we relate to clashes of interests and the diversity of the range of possibilities, both in the interaction between teacher and student and between the
students themselves. How we relate to these issues will result in different
opportunities for different students to conquer the conceptual tools the
course is aimed to give them. The author is therefore both giving arguments
and, with practical examples, showing how an approach based on ‘walking
your own talks’ can facilitate more equal power relations in our increasingly
diverse classrooms.
