ABSTRACT
In the process of writing this book, the author became acutely aware of the difficulties of bringing together the different goals that she had set for herself in terms of theory and methodology in the first place, and second, how to present my teaching practice, particularly the incorporation of students' input into the pedagogical process. Personal narratives are end-products in the pedagogical process which begins with a preparatory theoretical stage at which students become acquainted with basic concepts of intersectionality, discuss the readings in class on the basis of suggested questions and topics, and write weekly journals individually or in teams in which they express their stance toward issues raised in each of the readings. The exercise of writing a personal narrative on a selected film, the one which each student best relates with in terms of her/his lived experience, is an intimate and at the same time a revealing experience, as some of the personal narratives have demonstrated.
