These episodes of “Contextualizing Feminist Voices: Teaching with the Global Feminisms Project” focus on how individual teachers have used the materials in their courses. In each episode, you will hear strategies for using the materials that different faculty tried, as well as their thoughts about what those strategies allowed them to accomplish in their teaching. Though each podcast is based on material for a particular course, we think they have ready applicability to courses on different topics

GFP originated in 2002 to create an archive of oral histories from women scholars and activists from different countries around the world. Check out https://sites.lsa.umich.edu/globalfeminisms/ to access the interviews and additional resources on the country sites, including lesson plans and sample syllabi. The GFP is based at the Institute for Research on Women and Gender (IRWG) at the University of Michigan
