Race, Gender and Knowledge Production
volume 23 number 4

In applying a critical perspective to issues of feminism and education, this issue of RFR explores and disrupts the production of dominant knowleges and examine how learning is gendered and raced. Special issue editors Sherene Razack and Ramabai Espinet bring together a series of articles which, they state in the introduction, are all part of the critical examination of how relations of power shape knowledge production, and the ongoing project of "putting race back into gender." The five authors cover topics which range from a discussion of the musical Miss Saigon to an exploration of the discourse on natural childbirth. All of them keep in mind the crucial question of "How we know what we know."
