Feminist Problem Posing

As I read this section, I began wondering how it was being connected to language and TESOL.  At the end of the section, however, I learned something.  Two quotes stood out to me, a lot. 
"...we in TESOL who are ourselves the descendants of slaves or indigenous or colonized people or who teach the descendants of slaves or indegenous or colonized people can redefine, rethink, and re-vision whom knoledge serves  (p. 112)."  The "whom knowledge serves" part really connected the beginning of the chapter to this feminist aspect.  "Serves" in the problem posing approach does not mean to transmit knowledge to students and expect them to accept it, as is.  In the problem posing approach, knowledge is meant to focus on making meaning to the knowledge offered.  It includes the emotional aspect of the concept and its' students.  It also is a more effective way of teaching in that it encompasses many different strategies/ways of teaching which results in students having the ability to solve a problem on their own, think for themselves, and come to a conclusion.  In this section, that idea is emphasized but is also made more complex on bringing in racial and gender issues.  "whom knowledge serves" is a very powerful statement and illustrates the importance of equality.
Another quote that stood out to me was this: "Feminist and womanist problem posing can open new criteria for ethics and morality and create new spaces for the creation of aesthetics and tastes" (p.112).  It really shows what this type of approach can do for the teaching world.  All in all, this section surprised me with what it had to offer.
