Abstract: Pluralist teaching encourages students to develop critical thinking skills to their fullest potential. This article presents guidelines for a globalisation course taught from a feminist pluralist perspective by the author during the fall of 2008. The article discusses course objectives, assessment tools and the inherent challenges in developing and teaching such a course. It also includes the full syllabus. The author concludes that the benefits of teaching from a pluralist perspective are immensely rewarding for both student and teacher.
