Outline for influential figures in feminist pedagogy is a fairly skeletal outline, but I'm glad to see that it's at least written down and that you've started using the sandbox. Both are good first steps.

I question the inclusion of Judith Butler, though -- she's definitely influential in feminist and queer theory, but I don't see her as so much of influence in/on pedagogy.

What about Patti Lather? And Ileana Jiménez?

One thing we need to work on as a group, is the repetition of 'Feminist Pedagogy'. There is an overwhelming amount. Katie3byea (talk) 23:18, 24 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Review of Principles section: the reformation section is a bit weak and could use some development as to why this is important and how it might be done. I like that you added in one of the difficulties in attaining it. You do have a bit of jargony terms in there such as "privileging voice" You might want to either wiki link them to definitions or add those into your definitions. Overall though..your entries are well cited and clear. Dgloclou (talk) 17:55, 29 May 2012 (UTC)dgloclou[reply]

Influential Figures: Awesome! I like that it was clear, easy to read and the pictures are great. I just think that Patti Lather needs a bit more substance...they may all need just a bit more to really cement them in with feminist pedagogy. Suggestion of word choice: The theorist, Paulo Freire, is know for his works in the area of critical pedagogy, such as... instead of "A theorist, Paulo Freire is known for his works in the area of critical pedagogy." Keep it up! --MSandall 01:03, 30 May 2012 (UTC)

The main thing I noticed for What is it? is the lack of links to other wiki pages as well as the need for flow between sentences. I hope I helped out with it and didn't deter the points you were trying to make!! If I did, I'm sorry. Also, I think that there are words that are used a lot, like Feminist pedagogy and mutual. The section was very informative and well done! Good job, Mariah:D --MSandall 22:04, 1 June 2012 (UTC)

So, I found this link: http://www.jstor.org/stable/10.2307/40545739 it's about John Kellermeier who uses feminist pedagogy to teach mathematics which might help show that this method of teaching is applicable to any field!! Hope you're excited:D --MSandall 22:04, 1 June 2012 (UTC)

I've copyedited some of this page twice, because incorrect capitalization has been re-inserted. Let's not have our own edit wars before we even get onto Wikipedia! For the record, feminist pedagogy does not require capitalization. When the phrase occurs at the beginning of a sentence, you must capitalize the f, but otherwise, use lowercase f and lowercase p.

I also revised the History section, reposition links and moving material that was more appropriate for other sections.

However, I stopped at this point, because so much work is still needed -- for example, converting APA references to footnotes in the principles section, and adding citations to the implementation section -- that further copyediting doesn't seem a good use of time. Plus, it's getting late Saturday evening and I'd like to chill out for a while. :-)
