Teachable moment: feminist pedagogy and the neoliberal classroom

In this article I will argue that this corporatization of the university limits and restricts possibilities for teaching critical theory. Discussing the notion of a ‘teachable moment’ I engage in what Jane Gallop calls anecdotal theory, examining the conditions and context of two of my own encounters with students. I work through these two teachable moments in order to better locate the effects that the increasing corporatization of the university has on students, as well as teachers.
