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