About this Podcast
HOST: Welcome to the show, everyone! Today, we're talking with Dr. Jane Smith, an expert in feminist pedagogy and the lead instructor for our guest course, the Certificate Programme in Feminist Pedagogy Implementation. Dr. Smith, can you tell us what first drew you to this field? GUEST: Absolutely! As a teacher, I was always looking for ways to create a more inclusive classroom. Feminist pedagogy offered me the tools to not only address gender inequity but also to explore intersectionality and decolonize education. HOST: That's fascinating. Can you share some current trends in feminist pedagogy that our listeners might find interesting? GUEST: Certainly! One trend is the growing emphasis on student empowerment and critical consciousness. By fostering a learning environment that encourages students to question power structures and engage with social justice issues, we're helping them become more informed and engaged citizens. HOST: That sounds like a powerful approach. Now, every field has its challenges. What are some of the biggest challenges you've faced in implementing feminist pedagogy? GUEST: Resistance to change can be a significant challenge. Some educators are hesitant to adopt new teaching methods, especially if they feel it might disrupt the status quo. However, by providing concrete examples and evidence of the benefits of feminist pedagogy, we can help overcome this resistance. HOST: It's essential to be aware of those challenges. Lastly, where do you see the future of feminist pedagogy heading? What changes or advancements do you anticipate? GUEST: I believe we'll continue to see a more intersectional and decolonial approach to feminist pedagogy. As educators, we must remain committed to creating inclusive learning environments that empower all students, regardless of their background or identity. HOST: Thank you so much, Dr. Smith, for sharing your insights and experiences with us today. The Certificate Programme in Feminist Pedagogy Implementation is a valuable opportunity for educators looking to make a real difference in their classrooms.
