SACCA Concordia University, Montreal Carole Wood lock describes theprocess through which she and her students negotiate a pattern of communicationin the classroom. She works to actualize her own vision of feministpedagogy that emphasizes community, room for every individual voice, shared learning, andmultiple modes of understanding. She cites feminist ideals sheincludes in her vision: moving "away from oppositional stances suchas theory versus practice, and masculine versus feminine," valuing the wholeand achieving "harmonious integration" (Collins 1977, p. 54); living bothcontent and practice concretely (Lewis 1992); and fostering empowerment,community and leadership through classroom interaction, with theobjective of transforming the academy (Sandell 1991). Carole Wood lockconcurs with Garger and Gaudelius who work to give upsome of their power as "masters of the discourse," to assure that studentscan become subjects, not merely objects, in the classroom (1992, p.27). One can relate Carole Wood lock's interestin negotiation to the comments of Statham, Richardson and Cookwho consider the traditional patterns (stereotyped roles) ofwomen as structural pressure. "But," theysay "we can decide whether to accommodateto those pressures, or to negotiate with our role partners to reject themoutright or to modify them in part" (1991, p.3). They see the role of university professoras an excellent position from which to conduct this negotiation. Attaining a university professorship isa true mark of distinction that can override normative expectations for gender-appropriate behavior. Such an accomplishment imbuesthe woman with a certain amount of authority and power that is not ordinarilypresent in our sex-graded society., The extent to whicha women can use these attributes successfully to negotiate acceptableand empowering self- definitions and to convey them to her colleaguesand students will affect the extent to which those role partnersvalue her (1991, pp. 4- 5). They point out that this is sucha strong phenomenon that "the passive, intellectually subordinate professor mightappear 'deviant,' regardless of sex" (1991, p. 5). 1 Marilyn Zurmuehlen's Working Papers InArt Education 1994-1995 Statham, Richardson, & Cook relate feminist interest in negotiation of gender roles and contextual views of gender to symbolic interaction role theory. They consider the principles of role negotiation and subjective reality as "determinants of social life" to be "the essentialunderpinnings of the entire symbolic interaction framework" (1991,
