Women in the Classroom: Cases for Discussion

In Women in the Classroom, five vignettes show moments based on real classroom experiences in which the role of women is an issue, either because of the gender of the teacher or students or because of the topic under discussion. The classrooms scenes present issues such as gaining authority, gendered modes of expression, male and female dominance, race and gender conflicts, and faculty responsibility. Also included is a series of "Shorts," provocative, unrehearsed student one-liners on gender issues that are grouped in eight sets by topic. All the vignettes are intentionally provocative, and can lead to fruitful discussions of complex topics. For more teaching videos, visit http://bokcenter.harvard.edu
