Working the Ruins: Feminist Poststructural Theory and Methods in Education

From some of the leading feminist scholars in education comes a collection of writings discussing how they use feminist poststructural theory in their classrooms and research. Drawing on real-life situations in their work, they show how using this theory has transformed their work. Topics covered include theory in everyday life, ethnography, writing the body, emotions in the classroom, qualitative research, and gossip as a counter-discourse. The range of topics, processes, and styles presented provides the reader with a variety of examples, illustrating the diversity and power of the effects of poststructural theory, as well as showing the possibilities of work still to be done.
