Revisiting Voice, Subjectivity and Circles: Feminist Pedagogy in the Twenty-first Century

This article reviews the literature on women and learning and how it has been applied in theological education settings. The author presents three practical cases studies, analyzing their use of pedagogical practices such as circles, voice, and subjectivity. The analysis, which is grounded in the post-structural theory of Foucault, points to dimensions of power and resistance that are implicit in their use in theological settings. The author makes suggestions for critically reflecting on even the most benign teaching practices.
