"I Do These Things Because I Know What You Are About to Enter": Lived Experiences and Teaching Citizenship

• In Event: Multiple Perspectives on the Lives of Teachers

Abstract

This qualitative case study uses a Black feminist ethic of caring to investigate how three African American women social studies teachers utilize their lived experiences as the curricular foundation for engaging in racial uplift as an enactment of citizenship. This study hopes to shed light on how experiential knowledge may be viewed as valuable sources of knowledge in conceptualizing and teaching citizenship.
