New Publication by Dan Irving: Fast Feminism and the Pedagogy of Desire
The Feminist Institute of Social Transformation (FIST) is pleased to share a new publication by Dan Irving, published with Taylor & Francis.
In Doing it for femme daddy, Fast Feminism, persistent desire, and the unbounded pleasures of critical educational praxis, Dan Irving offers an autotheoretical exploration of desire, pedagogy, and trans becoming within graduate education.
Drawing on his experiences as a trans studies scholar, the piece reflects on the intersections of academic life, gender transition, and relational desire, and engages the concept of a “pedagogy of desire” through his relationship with his supervisor, Shannon Bell.
Blending personal narrative with critical feminist and educational scholarship, this work examines how desire can function as a generative force in learning environments, opening space for trans and queer becomings, ethical relationality, and transformative forms of knowledge production.
We are proud to share this important and thought-provoking contribution and the continued impact of Dan Irving’s scholarship.
Dan Irving is an Associate Professor cross appointed to the Feminist institute of Social Transformation and the Institute of Interdisciplinary Studies teaching in the Human Rights (IIS) and Sexuality Studies (FIST) programs.
