Feminist Science Education

By Angela Calabrese Barton

This volume presents a case for liberatory science education from a feminist perspective. Based on a two year teacher-research study, Feminist Science Education questions and challenges how power and knowledge relationships position teachers, students, and science with and against one another in the classroom. Using stories about life in and out of the classroom, this book describes the impact that exploring this situated nature of science and teaching has for transforming science education.
