2017 (English)In: Theories of Affect and Concepts in Generic Skills Education: Adventurous Encounters / [ed] Edyta Just & Wera Grahn, Newcastle upon tyne: Cambridge Scholars Publishing, 2017, p. 191-211Chapter in book (Other academic)
Abstract [en]

The chapter reflects on teaching practices, aimed at encouraging and empowering students in feminist classrooms to engage in learning processes allowing them to unfold skills in terms of critical social fantasy, imagining alternative futures, based on everyday utopian thinking, and to translate them into transformative professional work. The pivot is a generic skill, defined as the ability to unfold critically enabling and empowering social fantasy apt for working to foster more socially and environmentally just futures. The reflections o this  generic skill is based on the author’s decades long experiences of teaching Gender and Intersectionality Studies and commitment to curriculum development within the field in European and Scandinavian contexts.  A particular case is used as example: a course on Career Paths and Professional Communication, cast within the framework of an international master programme in Gender Studies – Intersectionality and Change, as the programme’s arena for thinking about future workplaces. It is shown how feminist conceptual tools, the concepts of figurations and worldings, and transgressive methods, creative writing and theatrical acting, can be used to prompt learning processes, building on embodied thinking-feeling, and  nurturing the unfolding of the mentioned generic skill.
