1-2pm: Critical incidents in feminist pedagogy: teaching, strikes and activism.
This is a 1 hour interdisciplinary co-learning space to discuss what feminist teaching and learning looks like at the UofG. Given the roots of IWD in the labour movement and the ongoing industrial action staff are currently undertaking, we kick off the session with some reflections on critical incidents which changed the speaker’s perception of learning and teaching in light of action to transform the university. We aim for a collaborative event led by both students and staff.

The UofG Centre for Gender History is welcoming all interested staff and postgraduate students – from any subject area – to join our reading group dedicated to exploring feminist approaches to teaching methods in Higher Education. Focus for our discussion will be Chung Young Ai, ’A feminist pedagogy through online education’, Asian Journal of Women's Studies, 22.4 (2016),
The Gender and Sexualities Interdisciplinary Network is a cross-college initiative, led by the Addressing Inequalities interdisciplinary research theme in the College of Social Sciences.
