Abstract
This curriculum showcase introduces apparent feminist pedagogies and reports on
their use in a technical rhetorics course at Illinois State University. I describe the exigence for apparent
feminist pedagogies, which seek to recognize and make apparent to students the urgent
and sometimes hidden need for feminist critique of technical texts, and I offer a theoretical
rationale supporting apparent feminist pedagogies. Finally, I critically reflect on my own experience
enacting one possible iteration of apparent feminist pedagogy in hopes that readers might
see how such an approach can enhance the efficiency with which technical communicators
(including instructors) reach diverse audiences.
