This paper addresses the personal demands that Teaching Assistants (TAs) encounter as they work toward nurturing critical consciousness in university tutorials. We explore two case studies that occurred during our participatory, feminist, action research project which aimed to have students collaboratively question and reflect upon their responses to critical theorizing in sociology. The scenarios that we analyze here illustrate how students' investments in dominant ideologies around gender relations and sexuality can lead to situations that are very challenging for TAs. Our analyses reveal that, particularly in tutorial settings where students vocalize their positions, TAs personally encounter a myriad of emotional, intellectual and interpersonal considerations in response to their students' politics. These case studies emphasize the complexities involved when teaching assistants are committed to both anti-oppressive pedagogy and critical ideologies. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
