Co-Writing into Consciousness: The Transformative Power of a Dialogic Feminist Friendship

In this co/autoethnography, we used dialogic journaling and critical conversations to examine our feminist stances and practices. As feminist practitioners in high school English classrooms, we analyzed our collaborative co-teaching relationships, examining the complex dynamics of those partnerships, how we responded to the struggles of patriarchy and white supremacy in our classrooms, and how we turned that examination inward to inspect our contradictions and attachments to authoritarianism and oppression.
