What is the best method to teach about social justice amidst the challenges of the current political landscape of the United States? Carrie Baker, professor and director for the Study of Women and Gender at Smith, has found a way. Here, she discusses her methods of “Teaching to Empower,” which is also the subject of an article she published in the scholarly journal Feminist Formations. Baker is also a regular writer for Ms. magazine and the author of the recent Fighting the US Youth Sex Trade: Gender, Race, and Politics.
