How can feminist theory be made more relevant to the very real struggles undertaken by women of all professions, races, and sexual orientation? How can it be directed into more effective social activism, and how is theory itself a form of practice? Feminist theory and political activism need not-indeed cannot-be distinct and alienated from one another. To reconcile the gulf between word and deed, scholar-activists from a broad range of disciplines have come together here to explore the ways in which practice and theory intersect and interact.Feminism and higher educationFeminist theoryWomen's studiesFeminist theoryFeminism and higher educationWomen's studiesGender Studies & SexualityHILCCGender & Ethnic StudiesHILCCSocial SciencesHILCCFeminism and higher education.Feminist theory.Women's studies.Feminist theoryFeminism and higher educationWomen's studiesGender Studies & SexualityGender & Ethnic StudiesSocial Sciences305.42/01The Social Justice Group1477513University of Minnesota Social Justice Group.AU-PeELAU-PeELAU-PeELBOOK9910780180003321Is academic feminism dead3692712UNINA
