Chapter VII: Rewriting “Gender Equity” in Teacher Research

Sandra Hollingsworth and Janet Miller are middle-class, white, women professors and teacher educators in their forties who also have been engaged in separate six-year-long teacher-researcher collaboratives. They agreed to co-create this chapter as a series of conversational letters which would both explore the issue of "gender equity" in teacher research and help them get to know each orher personally and professionally. Drawing upon the histories that ground their personal experiences, the authors reflect in their writings about teacher research from various feminist perspectives on achieving gender equity and social change in schools. In particular, the authors speak personally about the complexities of social positions, values, relations, and political imperatives in accomplishing such a charge. Janet Miller begins the conversation by writing to Sandra (Sam) Hollingsworth.
