Teaching to Transgress by bell hooks
In March we were delighted to be joined by Anya Waleson to open our discussion on bell hook’s text Teaching to Transgress. The prompts she shared to start our conversation are below. We would love to hear your thoughts.
What boundaries do you encounter in your own teaching practice?
What boundaries do you hope to transgress within your field?
How? Why? For whom? With whom?
Which aspects of critical pedagogy are (not) useful?
