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. 606 $aFeminism and higher education 606 $aFeminist theory 606 $aWomen's studies 606 $aFeminist theory 606 $aFeminism and higher education 606 $aWomen's studies 606 $aGender Studies & Sexuality$2HILCC 606 $aGender & Ethnic Studies$2HILCC 606 $aSocial Sciences$2HILCC 608 $aElectronic books. 615 4$aFeminism and higher education. 615 4$aFeminist theory. 615 4$aWomen's studies. 615 0$aFeminist theory 615 0$aFeminism and higher education 615 0$aWomen's studies 615 7$aGender Studies & Sexuality 615 7$aGender & Ethnic Studies 615 7$aSocial Sciences 676 $a305.42/01 700 $aThe Social Justice Group$01053705 712 02$aUniversity of Minnesota Social Justice Group. 801 0$bAU-PeEL 801 1$bAU-PeEL 801 2$bAU-PeEL 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910455690903321 996 $aIs Academic Feminism Dead$92485755 997 $aUNINA
