Alexander, Ilene. "Learning in Other Ways: A History of Feminist Pedagogy in the U.S," American Studies, University of Iowa, May 1998.
How has the educational work of women and men, black and white, working together in the United States as teachers committed to anti-racist education played a role in developing feminist pedagogy? This dissertation attempts answering that question by drawing on the work of anti-racist educators in print when the U.S. Supreme Court announced its Brown decision in 1954/55, on the work and workers of Highlander Folk School and Mississippi Freedom Schools, and on the educational strategies and philosophies of feminist educators throughout U.S. history. Alongside the textual analysis of academic and archival resources, the dissertation features four autobiographical interviews with teachers who reflect on their development as feminist activists and educators.
