Critical feminist social work educators face constraints and challenges when trying to imagine, co-construct, enact and improve ways to engage in the communal relationality of critical feminist pedagogy.</p><p><strong>APPROACH:</strong> In this article, the authors draw upon the literature and use a reflective, inductive approach to explore and analyse observations made about efforts to engage with a subversive pedagogy whilst surviving in the neoliberal academy.</p><p><strong>CONCLUSION:</strong> While the article draws on experiences of social work teaching and research in a regional Australian university, the matters explored are likely to have resonance for social work education in other parts of the world. A tentative outline for thinking about the processes involved in co-creating a critical feminist pedagogical practice is offered.   <strong></strong></p>}, number={3}, journal={Aotearoa New Zealand Social Work}, author={Epstein, Sarah Bernadette and Hosken, Norah and Vassos, Sevi}, year={2018}, month={Dec.}, pages={8–18} }
