Episode 19: Feminist Pedagogy and the Triangle Fire
This week Kelsie and Brooke are talking about Feminist Pedagogy (Socratic Seminars) and The Triangle Fire. An alternate title could be circles and triangles... but it wouldn't make sense until you heard us out. Feminist teaching is where you break down structural and stigma-related barriers to all student participation and performance-- in this case to get more women into the field. We then do a deep dive into the 1911 Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire in New York and it's long term labor and governmental impacts and the debate over who was responsible. Teachers can find the inquiry on our website and peruse these primary materials organized by Cornell University (https://trianglefire.ilr.cornell.edu/primary/).
