Privileged Pedagogy, Vulnerable Voice: Opening Feminist Doors in the Communication Classroom
Stern, Danielle M.
Journal of Communication Pedagogy, v1 n1 p40-51 2018
This interview study analyzes 22 communication scholars' experiences of teaching about feminism. Beyond questioning understandings of feminism in the communication classroom, a theory of privileged vulnerability emerged regarding the privilege of teaching about feminism and the vulnerability we--as self-identified feminist educators--embody via this privilege. Implications include recognizing our privileges and vulnerabilities, as well as how they relate to student interactions, to enact a reflexive, embodied pedagogical praxis.
