Questions: How does using blogs in the classroom and blogging while teaching enable you to access your feminist self/selves? What is/are your feminist self/selves? Any examples from your blogs? This is a big question that I feel I need to break down into smaller parts. First, what is my feminist self? I decided to write […]

Here’s our plan: First, write a few paragraphs on the two questions that I posted on this comment: How does using blogs in the classroom and blogging while teaching enable you to access your feminist self/selves? What is/are your feminist self/selves? Any examples from your blogs? Second, read through past blog entries (on this blog […]

The theme for this week’s discussion was training. Without our new love, Snowball, we lacked the motivation to actually record our conversation. It’s too bad (imho) because we had some great things to say. Oh well. Here are the highlights (at least, the ideas that I can decipher from my very messy notes). 1. Blog […]

I just (finally) listened to Visibility 3 and 4. Some great stuff, including my admission that I just saw Eclipse. Here are some of the ideas I want to highlight: Blogs provide us with the opportunity to rethink and experiment with new ways of evaluating our students. We can give feedback (without grades because of privacy […]

Here are a few recent resources related to blogging, technology, accessibility and feminist teaching. 1. How do we make our blogs more accessible to blind readers? 2. What skills do we need to be digitally literate? 3. Less than 25%? Really? 4. Young Feminists to Old Feminists: If you can’t find us, it’s because we’re […]

So far we have designed this blog, wrote a bunch of entries on it, created several about pages, and completed/posted our first dialogue on visibility. And we have met for several hours on three different Fridays. I think we have done a lot! But how can we translate all of this work into a book […]

I just finished listening to parts 1 and 2 of our visibility dialogue–it was really fun to hear our conversation (even though it was scary too–it can be hard to listen to yourself and hear how your ideas sometimes come out jumbled and awkward)! I think I see the power of podcasts. Last year, I […]

Here is our first dialogue, in four parts, on visibility. This dia(b)logue took place at SLP’s house on a hot Friday afternoon (July 16th). Visibility 1, Visibility 2, Visibility 3 and Visibility 4

One of our assignments for tomorrow is to brainstorm how we are actually going to talk and dialogue tomorrow for our first conversation on visibility. So, I’ve been thinking through it and I brainstormed the topics that I think we’ve kind of been talking about already as well as when we wrote the abstract, what […]

Hey KCF–Notice anything different about the blog today? Last night STA made a few tweaks on the site. One of the first things he did was change the font from Arial to Helvetica. What’s the big deal, you might ask? In case you didn’t know, Arial vs. Helvetica is a huge deal among design-geeks. STA […]

KCF: I hope you don’t mind me cross-posting this entry. I think the idea of failure (and its connections with vulnerability, risk, trouble, unknowingness, experimentation) are central to my vision of a feminist pedagogy of troublemaking. Note: This blog entry is posted on all three of my blogs: (making/being in/ staying in) trouble, It’s Diablogical!, […]

I was just skimming through my course blog and I found a brief entry that I wrote for the class on the potential links between bell hooks, feminist consciousness-raising and blogging. Normally I would have posted this as a comment on your entry. However, I don’t think you can post HTML on comments in this […]
