Summary:

"This book argues that through adult education, feminist aesthetics can inform our responses to problems such as gender, racial, class and ecological injustices, including the #MeToo movement. The book illustrates the critical, creative and provocative pedagogical theorising, research, and engagement work of feminist educators and researchers who work in diverse community, institutional, and social movement contexts across North America and Europe. It captures the complexity, diversity, energy, and imagination of those who theorise and decolonise, facilitate, investigate and create within the politics of gender justice and change."-- Provided by publisher.
