Using student-written diaries to teach feminist economics

---

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to explain how student-written diaries and journals serve as a
specifically feminist pedagogy for teaching feminist economics, thereby challenging the lecture-based
techniques used to teach and uphold the mainstream, market-fundamentalist paradigm.
Design/methodology/approach – The approach involves the author’s observations and experiences
using student-written diaries to teach a feminist economics course.
Findings – Student-written diaries have the potential to dislodge both the market-fundamentalist
economics paradigm and the lecture-based teaching method that dominate the undergraduate
economics curriculum. Student-written diaries are especially useful in teaching feminist economics
courses which strive to elevate women’s economic status and/or to reduce the androcentric bias in
economics. The paper describes how student-written diaries are used to achieve both of these goals
and to create a more inclusive classroom culture, while simultaneously challenging market
fundamentalism.
Originality/value – The paper offers a new pedagogical technique to be used for teaching feminist
economics courses and for countering lecture-based courses that focus on market fundamentalism.
