Abstract

In the dissertation titled "Teaching on the Mobius: Exploring the Inner and Outer Landscapes of Teacher Practice," Quenzer (2023) illustrates how significant contributions are being made by culturally responsive pedagogies, but less is understood about the inner life of teachers as they navigate the outer systems of their practice. To address this area of research opportunity, Quenzer used educational criticism combined with the conceptual framework of humanizing and deep pedagogy to explore the practice of six culturally responsive teachers. In a postdoctoral paper, the author extends implications from the dissertation study using an autoethnographical perspective. The postdoctoral paper expands on the dissertation's implications using the author's lived experiences and personal sense-making of what it means to teach on the Möbius.
