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

"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."-- Provided by publisher Cover 1 Contents 8 List of Figures 10 List of Contributors 11 Series Editors’ Foreword 17 Acknowledgements 19 Troubling Post-truth Populism: Feminist Interventions Penny Jane Burke, Julia Coffey, Rosalind Gill and Akane Kanai 20 Part 1 Truth 38 1 Truth Parasites, Right-Wing Fury and the Predicaments of Feminist Expertise Jane Kenway 40 2 The Weaponization of ‘Gender’ beyond Gender: The Entrenchment of ‘Coloniality of Power’ and ‘Pedagogies of Cruelty’ Isis Giraldo 62 3 Truth, Power, Pedagogy: Feminist Knowledge and Education in a ‘Post-truth’ Time Raewyn Connell 84 4 Something Resembling ‘Truth’: Reflections on Critical Pedagogy in the New ‘Post-truth’ Landscape Sondra Hale 98 Part 2 Feminism and Education 116 5 Situating the Feminist Classroom: Between Free Speech and Media Myth Nicola Rivers 118 6 Persistence, Patience and Persuasion: Critical Reflections on Creating Space for Indigenous Content in Australian University Curricula Susan Page 132 7 Anti-feminist Misogynist Shitposting: The Challenges of Feminist Academics Navigating Toxic Twitter Xumeng Xie, Idil Cambazoglu, Bárbara Berger-Correa and Jessica Ringrose 150 8 Embodied Wilfulness: #MeToo Girls’ Activism, Affects and ‘Complaint as Feminist Pedagogy’ Ileana Jiménez 176 Part 3 Gender Politics beyond the Classroom 190 9 Populist Politics in a Market-Leninist State: (Re)Thinking Gender in Vietnam Thanh-Nhã Nguyễn and Matthew McDonald 192 10 Embracing Feral Pedagogies: Queer Feminist Education through Queer Performance Alyson Campbell, Meta Cohen, Stephen Farrier and Hannah McCann 212 11 Fight the Patriarchy: Digital Feminist Public Pedagogy and Post-feminist Media Culture in Indonesia Annisa R.
