bell hooks on Engaged Pedagogy [$20 Suggested]

Instructor: Dahiya | Tuesday | August 16 | 8:00-9:30 PM ET

It's almost time to go back to school, making it a great time to think about feminist and anti-racist pedagogy! In this teach-in, we will examine and discuss bell hooks’ idea of engaged pedagogy, which she develops in Teaching to Transgress: Education as the Practice of Freedom. hooks' ideas are powerfully prescient: she called for us to think about what is now called “social and emotional learning” back in 1994 before it was coined and became popular. After studying the core concepts of engaged pedagogy, we'll collectively brainstorm how we might put hook's philosophy of pedagogy into praxis. What challenges arrive when we do so, and how can we work through them?
