Weekly Feminism Social Club
Class experience
US Grade 7 - 9
This is a chance to talk about feminism, gender, social issues, pop culture, history, and more, all with like-minded peers and an encouraging, positive instructor. This weekly drop-in class is run as a weekly subscription. You can join at any time! There is no homework or outside reading. Because of the social nature of this class, students are encouraged to keep their cameras on, but there is no requirement to do so (after verification). Students can participate by sharing their thoughts...
I have been an English professor for 10 years. 9 of those years have been spent at a small, liberal arts university, where I teach first year composition, creative nonfiction, the spiritual practice of writing, diversity and young adult literature, and more. Feminism has always informed my teaching, and here on Outschool, I teach classes about feminism and pop culture, mostly to tweens and young teens.
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.
I teach from an intersectional feminist perspective, which means that I view gender as just ONE aspect of the world where equality has not yet been attained.

Although I use gendered language including "boys" and "girls," I also use language like "all genders" and avoid binary language. Transgender and non-binary children should feel welcome in this course, and we will do our best to use gender-inclusive language.
