A Foucauldian Reading of Learning in Feminist, Nonprofit Organizations

Leona M. English

St. Francis Xavier University, lenglish{at}stfx.ca

This article reports on research with eight board members and eight directors of 10 feminist, nonprofit organizations. A Foucauldian poststructuralist reading of the data gives voice to undertheorized aspects of learning in feminist organizations and makes visible the power relationships. It explores women’s learned practices of resistance and offers an in-depth and paradoxical view of women’s learning in nonprofit organizations. In focusing on women and on particular organizational sites, this study contributes to a contextualized and gendered reading of Foucault.

Key Words: power • Foucault • gender • organizations
