Pedagogies of Resistance: Stories of Change (4)

• In Event: Pedagogies of Resistance: Stories of Change

Abstract

Presenter 4 will discuss their experience creating a new course on Black and Latinx Educational Histories and Voices at two historically White private liberal arts institutions of higher education. In both examples, a majority non-White space was created. We will discuss the labor and agencies that emerged within their students and the type of homeplace that was created in the classroom when we teach a subject matter that we cannot divorce our identity and/or scholarship from. We will share how we can truly create and sustain sites of resistance that can (and do) become homeplaces not just for us, but for our students. It is an example of making higher education our own.
