Feminist and Democratic Pedagogies

Approaches that open schooling to equal voices, including feminist pedagogy, which draws on feminist theory, and democratic education, in which students manage their own learning and share governance. An approach belongs here when the cited article defines it through feminist theory or democratic participation. It excludes culturally responsive pedagogies, which sit in their own group. Both approaches question who holds authority in a classroom and invite learners to take part in shaping the topics, the rules and the ways of working together.
