About the Book
Decolonization and Feminisms in Global Teaching and Learning offers a rich resource for teachers and learners aiming to foster radical and liberating academic spaces. This edited volume intertwines decolonial and feminist thought, emphasizing their shared roots in critical pedagogy. Divided into four parts, the book explores the politics of knowledge, challenges in finding one's voice, institutional constraints and possibilities, and the relationship between decolonial/feminist ideas and traditional academic disciplines. Manifestos from global activists supplement the chapters, reinforcing the link between political action and academic reflection.

The essays argue that decolonizing universities through revisiting knowledge production is strengthened by integrating feminist, queer, and gender critiques. Simultaneously, feminist teaching itself benefits from embracing decolonial perspectives.

Review
"A sincere invitation to learn at the vibrant interfaces of feminist and decolonial theory and critical pedagogy. A credible call to rediscover the classroom as a site of politics and solidarity. A genuine commitment to a subversive practice of ‘doing academia’ in the global coloniality of the corporate university and beyond."
— Claudia Brunner, Assistant Professor, Centre for Peace Studies and Peace Education, Alps-Adriatic University of Klagenfurt, Austria
