Teaching Women's and Gender Studies: Classroom Resources on Resistance, Representation, and Radical Hope (Grades 9–12)

Incorporate women’s and gender studies into your high school classroom using the powerful lesson plans in this book. The authors present seven units organized around four key concepts: Why WGST; Intersectionality; Motherland―History, Health, and Policy Change; and Artivism.
With thought questions for activating prior knowledge, teaching notes, reflection questions, reproducibles, and strategies, these units are ready to integrate purposefully into your existing classroom practice. Across various subject areas and interdisciplinary courses, these lessons help to fill a critical gap in the curriculum.
Through affirming, inclusive, and representative projects, this book offers actionable ways to encourage and support young people as they become changemakers for justice.
