    What Would We Be Doing If We Weren't Doing This?: A Journey in Democratic Departmental Practice

Abstract

Almost twenty-five years ago a small, liberal arts college began a journey into critical pedagogies, both in some classes and at the departmental level. Students and faculty engage in department work together--setting curriculum, assessing programs, planning events, and rotating chairing of meetings. We are attempting to engage in transformative leadership with each other, as we re-imagine what a truly radical, democratic department would look like.

Keywords: democracy, critical pedagogy
