Globalizing Women’s Studies: Pedagogy and Praxis
A Professional Development Seminar for Faculty, Staff and Graduate Students
July 12-20, 2008
This 8-day immersion experience will explore the wide variety of issues that diverse Mexican women identify as issues of struggle within the current context of capitalist globalization. While focusing on global perspectives, participants will hear about gender and women’s issues within the context of Mexican society, and be challenged in how we use language, theory and ask questions about the study of women and gender in a global context. Throughout the week we will prioritize the voices of people who have been marginalized in academia and society and provide opportunities for women and men of diverse backgrounds to present themselves and define the issues that they see as essential rather than being re-presented by others. Sponsored by The Center for Global Education at Augsburg College. Price: $1,350. Price does not include international airfare. An “early bird” discount of $100 is available to participants who register by January 15, 2008. Application deadline is April 21, 2008.
The Center for Global Education at Augsburg College has offered courses in women’s studies since 1990 and tries to integrate the pedagogical approaches of Paulo Freire and John Dewey with Chandra Talpade Mohanty’s work on transnational feminist theory, as well as numerous feminist pedagogues because we believe that these pedagogies hold the greatest potential for truly transformative education.
