Bridge, Coalition, Pedagogy, and Rugby: A Decolonial Feminist Politics of Being “With You”

Sat, Nov 12, 5:00 to 6:15pm, Palais des Congrès, 519B (LCD)

Abstract

The pedagogy of This Bridge Called My Back supports epistemological interventions that engage pre-service teachers in developing alternative accounts of their relationship to the world and how these accounts are unavoidably theoretical, decolonial, and provide starting points for thinking about pedagogy, power, and praxis. Meditating on the practices of rugby’s “with you” and Lugones’ (1987) “world”-traveling, coalition as practice becomes central in thinking through the intersectional problems of teaching and schooling, particularly as California teachers work with under-resourced schools, dispossessed students, and their families.
