Theses and Dissertations

This thesis recounts the journey of an exchange student at a public university in Central Illinois on becoming a feminist teacher. By reflecting on her experiences as a Master’s student in the United States and high school teacher in Indonesia, the author unpacks her journey on becoming a feminist teacher.

Finally, this research contends for a culturally relevant feminism as viable in her home institution in North Sumatra, Indonesia.
