Penny Jane Burke et al., "Gender in an Era of Post-truth Populism: Pedagogies, Challenges and Strategies" (Bloomsbury, 2022)
Why does gender matter in our troubled global times? In\xa0Gender in an Era of Post-truth Populism: Pedagogies, Challenges and Strategies\xa0(Bloomsbury, 2022), the editors\xa0Penny Jane Burke,\xa0Rosalind Gill,\xa0Akane Kanai,\xa0and\xa0Julia Coffey\xa0have assembled a collection of interventions that seek to think through the relationship between the populism that seems to dominate many nation\u2019s contemporary politics and the continuing need for feminist perspectives. The chapters range from feminist philosophical and theoretical reflections on the meaning of truth, through empirical work on digital feminism, to considerations on the role and purpose of education and the university. Across 11 chapters, with an agenda setting introduction, the book is essential reading for all in the humanities and social sciences, as well as for anyone seeking to understand the current post-truth populist crisis and how to intervene for change.\n\ufeffDave O'Brien\xa0is Professor of Cultural and Creative Industries, at the University of Sheffield.\nLearn more about your ad choices.
