>From: ESTESWL@RASCAL.GUILFORD.EDU >Date: Tue, 9 Aug 1994 12:50:51 -0400 (EDT) After some negotiations, I was able to convince Routledge to offer a 20% discount on a book I edited for them, _Tilting the Tower: Lesbians/Teaching/Queer Subjects._ I hope it will be of interest to members of the list. Thank you, Linda Garber lglg@leland.stanford.edu Tilting the Tower: Lesbians / Teaching / Queer Subjects Edited by Linda Garber **20% DISCOUNT UNTIL SEPTEMBER 30, 1994 (when ordering please use this reference number: 42341)** Routledge, New York 29 West 35th St New York, NY 10001-2299 Tilting the Tower explores the status of lesbians and lesbian studies in the high school and university classroom and in the academy. Bringing together high school teachers, community college and four-year university professors, graduate students and tenured program directors, the volume documents the voices, personal experiences, teaching strategies and activist efforts to diversify the curriculum, the classroom and the campus. The contributors lesbian, bisexual, straight, women of color and white women write from a variety of political and pedagogical perspectives. The first part of the volume focuses on college and high school classroom settings. Practice-based issues critical to lesbians and to the teaching of lesbian studies are presented, including classroom dynamics, teaching methods, lesson plans, reading lists, teacher/student relationships, sexualizing the classroom, small-group pedagogy, consciousness-raising, anti-oppression education and being "out" in class. Several of the essays are content-based and discuss the problems and possibilities in including lesbian subject matter in literature, race/ethnicity, composition, history, classics and computer science courses. The second part of Tilting the Tower considers the broader policy issues affecting lesbian faculty and the institutionalization of lesbian and gay studies. Contributors detail struggles, strategies and survival tactics across a range of issues job security, institutional racism, developing lesbian-gay-bisexual studies programs, collegiality and the role lesbian studies can play in adding a "queer" dimension to the multicultural academy. Powerful, honest and committed, Tilting the Tower will be essential reading for anyone lesbian, gay, straight, bisexual concerned with lesbian and feminist practice, policies and politics in education. Contributors include Wendy Chapkis, Michele Aina Barale, Estelle B. Freedman, Merle Woo, doris davenport, Evelyn Torton Beck, Toni A.H. McNaron and many more.
