Exploring the ‘geographical self’ through a feminist new literacies writing pedagogy: Women writers in Italy
Sarah Twomey, University of Hawai’i at Mānoa
This paper gives evidence of how teaching writing problematizes what it means to understand each other across borders and countries at a time when new literacy practices are key in shaping our social futures. This paper retraces historical moments of women writers in Italy as a foundation for rethinking a feminist pedagogy of writing in the present. This paper analyzes the writing from an on-line journal created by an American women’s writing collective in Italy. The writing shows new forms of global understanding that embodies the vulnerabilities of being human and encourages the uniqueness of feminine subjectivities to travel with insight, compassion, and promise that is situated within a rich history of women’s writing in Italy.
Dr. Sarah Twomey is an Associate Professor in the Department of Curriculum Studies at the University of Hawai’i at Mānoa, within the College of Education. Her research interests are in teacher education, new literacies, feminist pedagogy and post colonial studies. She has several publications concerned with gender and writing, with a recent publication in Journal of Youth Studies entitled, “Girls, Computers, and Becoming,” based on a writing project developed with young adolescent girls. Sarah was a secondary school teacher with 15 years experience in Canada. She continues to focus on developing educational frameworks using interpretative reading and writing practices that intervene successfully in readdressing the role of language and literacy in a globalized understanding of the social practice of learning.
All welcome!
