What is feminist pedagogy?

"a perspective on teaching which is anti-sexist, anti-hierarchical, and which stresses women's experiences, both the suffering our oppression has caused and the strengths we have developed to resist it." -- Berenice Fisher

Fisher, Berenice. 1981. What is feminist pedagogy? The Radical Teacher(18): 20-4.

Feminist Pedag gy in Library Instruction“Feminist teachers favor active learning techniques. Instead of the teacher serving as the ultimate authority on all knowledge and information, knowledge is collaboratively discussed and created by students and the teacher.” (Accardi 2013)
