Bloomsbury Academic Gender in an Era of Post-truth Populism: Pedagogies, Challenges and Strategies (Bloomsbury Gender and Education)

Product Description What does it mean to be pedagogical in a post-truth landscape? How might feminist thought and action work to intervene in this environment? Gender in an Era of Post-truth Populism draws together leading feminist scholars of gender and education to explore the current significance of the rise of populist policies and discourses and the challenges it poses to the hard-won battles regarding the rights of women, immigrants, and minorities. Offering the first detailed feminist intervention in this space, the collection explores the significance of populism for feminist pedagogies and practices in relation to gender and education. This exploration has significance for broader and urgent questions of our times regarding knowledge, authority, truth, power and harm and considers the potential for feminist interventions in relation to pedagogies and activisms to speak back and disrupt populist agendas. Review An extremely refreshing, clear, cohesive, well-researched, and well-written collection on the timeliest of topics by leading scholars across the trajectory - it captures so very well the times through which we are living. --Lauren Ila Misiaszek, Associate Professor, Institute of International and Comparative Education, Faculty of Education, Beijing Normal University, China About the Author Penny Jane Burke is Global Innovation Chair of Equity and Director of the Centre of Excellence for Equity in Higher Education at University of Newcastle, Australia, and is Editor of Teaching in Higher Education.Julia Coffey is Senior Lecturer in Sociology at the University of Newcastle, NSW, Australia.Rosalind Gill is Professor of Social and Cultural Analysis at City University of London, UK.Akane Kanai is Lecturer in the School of Film, Media and Journalism at Monash University, Australia.
