Teaching gender with libraries and archives

Teaching Gender with Libraries and Archives: The Power of Information was conceived of as a pedagogical tool, aimed at stimulating gender studies teachers to critically reflect, together with their students, on libraries and archives as profoundly gendered knowledge spaces. Whilst feminist standpoint theory with its recognition that knowledge always emanates from and is produced within a specific situationality is now commonplace in gender studies, libraries and archives have so far largely escaped critical feminist reflection on their status as both locations and as actors of knowledge production.
