Communities of Mutation: Becoming Feminist Pedagogical Monstrosities
Gender and Education, v36 n8 p1173-1189 2024
We are feminist scholars who research and teach at a university in the United States situated within histories of sociopolitical conservativism and oppressions. In the present, looming over our classrooms, are mandates to eliminate 'divisive concepts' such as race and gender. These political monsters gnash their teeth and foam at the mouth as they swallow up equity and intersectionality from education. Here, we draw on posthuman feminisms to specifically consider what monstrous mutant feminist pedagogies are, what they might do, and how they have healed/emboldened us in these politically ruined places. We contextualize the mutant pedagogies that are kinned through the composts we inhabit/create, then, we situate ourselves within these monstrous landscapes and tell the stories of our Communities/Pedagogies of Mutation. We conclude by looking forward and, drawing inspiration from post feminisms, speculate generative, hopeful, and affirmative futures that are made possible through our agentively monstrous mutations.
