Educators are often at the forefront of social & cultural change, for better or worse. Here I reflect on lessons I learned in 2022 as a left political educator - an educator's manifesto, if you will.
Hi Jasmine, thanks for writing this. I teach English comp, creative writing, and a few lit electives at a community college. I'm always trying to find ways to enact the kind of pedagogy you're describing, but I often feel like I'm making it up as I go. I'm reading theory, but it would also help a lot if there were some texts that offer practical, classroom suggestions. I've searched, but everything I find seems to tend towards the theoretical rather than nuts and bolts. Do you have any suggestions, either from your own pedagogy or on where I should look?
