We invite contributions for the edited collection “Feminist Pedagogies in
Action: Teaching Beyond Disciplines

This collection is a companion volume to Meeting the Challenge: Innovative
Feminist Pedagogies in Action (Mayberry & Rose, Routledge, 1999). Meeting
the Challenge focused its attention on applications of feminist pedagogies
within a variety of academic disciplines. Over the last five years, major
disciplinary shifts have resulted in an increased awareness of the
importance of providing students with interdisciplinary knowledge. In
addition, increasing numbers of graduate programs in the sciences, social
sciences, and humanities are implementing “graduate teacher training programs”
to provide students with an understanding of educational practices and
approaches. In light of these developments, we shift the focus with this
collection of essays, Feminist Pedagogies in Action: Teaching Beyond
Disciplines. This collection seeks to mainstream feminist pedagogies by
making them applicable across disciplines and create a community of
practitioners of feminist pedagogy who are able to speak with each other
regardless of discipline. That is, the essays will speak to pedagogical
issues that transcend traditional disciplinary boundaries. Routledge is very
interested in publishing this collection.

We invite clearly-written 1 to 2 page abstracts which speak to one of the
themes.

All abstracts must be received via electronic file no later than August 1,
2005. Submissions should be sent to _mayberry@cas.usf.edu_
(mailto: mayberry@cas.usf.edu ).
We encourage prospective authors to contact the editors with questions about
submissions. Authors whose abstracts are selected for the collection will be
notified by August 15th and encouraged to submit a complete chapter of no more
than 3500 words (including footnotes) by December 1, 2005.
