Teaching Womens Studies in Conservative Contexts

Womens studies is a field that inspires strong reactions, both positive and negative, inside and outside of the classroom. The field, partly due to its activist origins, is often associated with liberal ideology and is therefore chided by students and others who identify as conservative. The goal of this book is to introduce conservative perspectives into the issues of gender, sexuality, race, and power that are topics of teaching and discussion in womens studies courses. The book also aims to provide examples of pathways by which conservative students and scholars can engage the field of womens studies, not as opponents, but as contributors. Contributors, including administrators, activists, scholar-teachers, artists, and ministers, come together in this collection to engage in writing and responding and to add their approaches to teaching and administering womens studies on their campuses.

Cantice Greene is an assistant professor of English at Clayton State University.

This book assumes that the relationship between womens studies and conservatives is an uncomfortable one. This assumption is based partly on the popular tropes expressed by conservative political talk show hosts, who often include womens studies as chief among the college majors that are useless in the marketplace and that transmit mixed messages to students and the public regarding sexual and platonic relationships, gender, and structural power in and beyond college. This assumption is based on the popular idea that conservative equals sexist, racist, xenophobic, homophobic, Islamophobic, bigot. It is also based on the conservative women and Black women I work with who react uncomfortably to the term feminist, and it is based on the feminist and womens studies journals that rarely, if ever, publish literature that speaks to my experience as a conservative academic engaging reproduction, sexuality, power, and gender issues in my classes.
