Description
Book SynopsisTrade Review"... Well worth the attention of us all." -Conversations "Jesuit and Feminist Education traverses the intersection between current feminist scholarship and the role and practices of the Jesuit order... Recommended." -Choice "Offers fresh perspectives and new interdisciplinary research on many themes of importance to a range of scholars in the humanities, women studies, and educational studies." -- -Wendy Kohli Fairfield University "As Jesuit education turns increasingly to lay partners, women educators and students find the Jesuit niche hospitable to concerns about social justice and justice for women. This very original collection celebrates the interplay of the Ignatian and feminist spirits, while naming and confronting frustrations and pitfalls. The book will be an unparalleled springboard for discussions about Jesuit identity, Catholic identity, Catholic higher education, and the Catholic future of feminism. Above all, it reaffirms the hopeful, engaged, transformational mission of Jesuit colleges and universities." -- -Lisa Sowle Cahill Boston College "In this anthology, feminist-identified and feminist-allied women and men in several of the twenty-eight U.S. Jesuit colleges and universities examine common ground between these pedagogies." -Teaching Theology & Religion
