Teaching for equality and the politics of feminist and decolonial education From polarised debate to collaborations for change

Reader Notes
• The course Teaching for Equality?: The Politics of Feminist and Decolonial Education was created through the collaboration of junior and senior colleagues of our faculty at the University of Amsterdam to move from polarised debate to collaboration for change.
• In collaborative courses we can de-centre dominant teaching practices and the curriculum. This creates space for turning critical theory, in this case decolonial and feminist pedagogy, into practice.
• Co-creation and collaboration can lead to discomfort, which requires always reverting to practices of care and responsibility within the whole classroom, by both students and teachers/facilitators.
