Publisher's Synopsis
Into the Melting Pot provides an excellent, comprehensive introductory text for the scholar new to epistemological issues, as well as a 'stepping stone' for those trying to grapple with the need to utilize modern forms of assessment. Written in an authoritative but lively accessible style, it addresses critically important questions for feminist academics and students. These include: Women?s experience ? whose knowledge is it?; what is the role of the feminist academic?; what is the position of Women?s Studies within other disciplines?; how do we bridge the gap between the different educational strata? - - This book is committed to multi-culturalism and a European perspective. It includes contributions from European feminist academics as well as a section on Black feminist studies. Women?s Studies is concerned to teach skills as well as discipline content and so Into the Melting Pot will be of interest to teachers of all disciplines working on skills acquisition.
