Teaching

IMG_0176_1__web.jpg
Racism and ableism are interdependent.  My university teaching aims to highlight how this interdependence plays out in the ways we segregate, discipline, and design/implement instruction for students of color in our K-12 school system.  My courses work to dismantle the racist, ableist, sexist, heteronormative, gender-conforming ways in which our students experience education.  Operating through the lenses of DisCrit (Connor, Ferri, Annamma, 2014), and culturally relevant pedagogy (Ladson-Billings, 1995),  my courses rethink status quo approaches, call out/call in everyday microagressions and language that contributes to deficit framings of multiply marginalized youth.  Expect to be continuously challenged and discomforted and ready to critically analyze everything!
