Abstract: What is feminist curiosity and how might it matter for music education? In this essay, the author examines curiosity, specifically feminist curiosity in combination with wonder and generosity, loving and not knowing. Elsewhere, the author has written on loving and not knowing (e.g., Silverman 2009, 2025); that previous work is leaned into while focusing on feminist curiosity. In doing so, the author discusses Laura Mulvey's Fetishism and Curiosity (1996), Cynthia Enloe's The Curious Feminist (2004) and Twelve Feminist Lessons on War (2023), and Perry Zurn's Curiosity and Power (2021a), respectively. These works are then utilized to consider feminist curiosity for music education. This essay ends with implications and questions for music teaching and learning. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
