Reflections on Lesbian Pedagogy.

Bettina Aptheker
Published in: Journal of lesbian studies (2024)
Using an autobiographical lens through 40 years of teaching, this brief reflection affirms an explicitly lesbian pedagogy as radical and transgressive. This is because it is woman-centered and woman-loving in a dominant culture that is pervasively male-centered and misogynist. This pedagogical practice is also antiracist, using a feminist intersectional model. While centering women it is a pedagogy that excludes no one from its intellectual and emotional embrace.
