In one Canadian feminist classroom, four students with diverse social locations share their journey toward an engaged activist practice, moving through internal challenges and external barriers and assisted by the feminist activist classroom. Features of these transformational practices are identified as the instructor works with students to identify core features of this experience that are helpful in catalyzing and supporting these transitions.
