Good news for Sara de Jong

Posted on 9 May 2025

A book co-edited by Sara de Jong has been selected as one of the 5 best books on feminist teaching and learning.

We are delighted to see that Decolonization and Feminisms in Global Teaching and Learning co-edited by Sara de Jong has been recognised by Shepherd as one of the five best books on feminist teaching and learning. 

Shepherd say "There are many different strands of feminism, but the ones I find most compelling show that gender is always inflected by other axes of difference. In fact, it is impossible to make sense of some of the dynamics of peacekeeper gender training without attending to histories of colonisation.

In this vein, this book brings a crucial decolonial perspective to questions of feminist pedagogy. It shows how and why liberation from patriarchy must be linked to liberation from coloniality and racism. In addition to its important insights into higher education and teaching and learning more broadly, I love the range of materials that Sara de Jong, Rosalba Icaza, and Olivia Rutazibwa have curated for this book. It features poetry, manifestos, and other creative forms of writing alongside more traditional academic essays."
