Reimagining Pedagogical Practices Through Teaching to Transgress in Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Courses

Session Submission Type: Workshop

Abstract

Join me in a loving dialogue on how to teach to transgress, taking as a starting point my teaching philosophy influenced by bell hooks and Paulo Freire. In this workshop, I will share classroom routines and lesson plan strategies as a Brazilian psychosocial disabled lecturer teaching Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies courses in Michigan. Participants will also teach each other and the facilitator by sharing their experiences in small and whole-group discussions. I invite formal and informal feminist educators to build community beyond the conference to reimagine pedagogical and transnational practices that transgress and keep our radical hope alive.
