Abstract
Review of Transforming Conversations: Feminism and Education in Canada Since 1970 by Dawn Wallin and Janice Wallace (Eds.)
Highlights
The chapters in this book map the influence of feminism in K-12, adult, and postsecondary education in Canada
Wallace and Wallin set the question guiding the collection of essays: “What effect, if any, has feminism had on education in Canada since the Royal Commission on the Status of Women (RCSW), and to what end” (p. 6)? They provide the broader historical-political context of the RCSW, how it emerged, and what potentialities for equality the report provided
While documents like the RCSW (Government of Canada, 1970) are necessary in providing legibility to the ongoing inequities for groups who make up the tapestry of Canada, they are not sufficient in bringing about the change they name
Summary
The chapters in this book map the influence of feminism in K-12, adult, and postsecondary education in Canada. This approach to mapping the terrain and allowing each chapter to offer its own orientation device encourages readers to notice shifts in the landscape. She explicates the Engaged Scholar Journal: Community-Engaged Research, Teaching and Learning tenuous position faculties of education have had, where, since their emergence in Canadian universities, they have been seeking recognition as an academic field.
