Overview
Transnational Feminist Pedagogies: Meanings, Methods, and Experiences explores how transnational feminist pedagogies are practiced, challenged, and reimagined in contemporary classrooms. This interdisciplinary volume brings together a rich collection of contributions that examine the evolving terrain of higher education through the lens of transnational and decolonial feminist theories. The book addresses pressing issues including the corporatization of higher education, censorship, and the negotiation of identity within institutional frameworks. Contributors from across the globe offer strategies for teaching under political and institutional duress, while centering collaboration, social movements, and marginalized voices. Through case studies, curricula, and reflections on learning and unlearning, the book provides concrete pedagogical tools that respond to the challenges of teaching in a time of heightened surveillance, precarity, and resistance. Ideal for students and educators in women's and gender studies, sociology, education, and related fields, Transnational Feminist Pedagogies: Meanings, Methods, and Experiences will resonate with those committed to critical pedagogy, intersectional analysis, and transnational collaboration in both theory and practice.

Reviews
""In a moment defined by fracturing borders, rising authoritarianism, and the tightening grip of neoliberalism on education, Teaching Transnational: Meanings, Methods, and Experiences arrives as both a testament and a toolkit. This volume speaks directly to the conditions that shape our classrooms—conditions not only of surveillance and suppression, but of possibility, resistance, and radical reimagination. It insists on a capacious, intersectional, and justice-driven feminism rooted in solidarity across borders and identities, and reminds us that pedagogy is a form of world-making and that how we teach is inseparable from the futures we seek to build."" - Elizabeth Archuleta, Professor of Ethnic Studies at University of Utah, USA. ""In a time of deep humanitarian and planetary crisis, Teaching Transnational: Meanings, Methods, Experiences makes a bold intervention. The collection explores feminist pedagogy as a site of critique and community building, as well as of refusals, subversion, and radical reimagination. In our present context marked by revisionist histories, stifling of epistemic diversity, colonialism masquerading as capitalist development, and digital technologies creating an economy of fleeting memories, outrage, and activism, this volume inspires energy and ethical responsibility."" - Richa Nagar, Gloria Steinem Endowed Chair in Women and Gender Studies at Smith College, USA. ""This timely anthology demonstrates a careful attention to the history of transnational feminist frameworks and the crucial functions that such feminisms continue to perform within the classroom by illuminating the asymmetries of global power systems, the intersectional dynamics of cross-border flows and global-local connections, and the racial, class, and gender inequalities reinforced by globalizing processes. It provides a powerful counter to institutional silos that have often separated US-based Indigenous and intersectional feminisms from transnational feminist critique and will be an indispensable aid to educators committed to social justice across a variety of pedagogical settings."" - Ani Dutta, Associate Professor of Gender, Women’s and Sexuality Studies at the University of Iowa, USA. ""How can teaching move beyond simply delivering information to become a transformative force against global injustice? Teaching Transnational offers a compelling answer, demonstrating the profound potential of pedagogy rooted in transnational feminist frameworks. This collection centers women of color theory and decolonial perspectives, urging educators to unsettle Eurocentric assumptions, elevate marginalized knowledges, and foreground the struggles and rights of immigrants, Indigenous peoples, and transnational communities. The result is a bold, urgently needed model of teaching that is both intellectually rich and globally relevant. It offers educators a roadmap for cultivating classrooms as spaces of care, resistance, transformative possibility, and collective worldmaking."" - Marie Sarita Gaytán, Associate Professor of Sociology & Gender Studies at the University of Utah, USA. ""Teaching Transnational is a powerful resource for scholars, educators, and students seeking to understand—and act on—the urgent need for transnational, decolonial pedagogies. These pedagogies are not just academic frameworks. The chapters in this collection examine the intersecting complexities of study abroad; the politics of Eurocentric AI technologies; the grounding force of Indigenous feminisms for grappling with the politics of home/nation; how whiteness shapes teaching and learning; and how anger works on us and for us as a tool for liberation. This book will resonate with educators from high school to higher ed and provoke critical reflection for scholars who believe that teaching is always a political act."" - Heather Switzer, Associate Professor of Women and Gender Studies at Arizona State University, USA. ""The analyses offered in Teaching Transnational embrace intellectual, ethical, and political complexities while being highly engaging, from the analysis of the environmental and labor implications of new media informed by the critique of gendered/racial/colonial capitalism; to examples of innovative work with and among students; to the relationship between grassroots labor organizing and pedagogy both in and outside of the university classroom in cross-Global South movements; to a project to engage in collective anti-colonial action on the part of members of a transnational queer and trans literatures course."" - Danielle Bouchard, Associate Professor of Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro, USA. ""Centering feminist pedagogies and curriculum in action, this collection shows how the classroom can still serve as a site of resistance, transformation, and liberation. This collection provides a model of collective capacity building to combat despondency, negotiate subjectivity, and disrupt oppression. An antidote to the cynicism that can so easily take hold as a rising tide of authoritarianism and white supremacist nationalism attempts to silence dissent with book bans and program closures, this is a must read for faculty committed to continuing the important work of teaching the transnational, anti-racist, and feminist perspectives."" - Bonnie A. Lucero, Neville G. Penrose Chair in Latin American Studies and History at Texas Christian University, USA. ""Under the crushing weight of imperial, colonial, and xenophobic regimes, Teaching Transnational is a lifeline. This collection speaks urgently towards our raw, sensitive wounds, from imperialism and genocide to censorship and surveillance. Accessibly written for a broad audience, this collection provides foundational transnational feminist frameworks and critical guidance for our shared futures. It will become a canonical text in pedagogy workshops, courses, and feminist circles."" - Sonia Del Hierro, Assistant Professor of English at Southwestern University, USA.
