How does race, class, gender, and sexuality affect the ways we move through the world and specifically the ways we teach and learn with our students?
In the class Race, Education and the Politics of Visual Representation, we examine how the contemporary realities of and intersections between race, class, gender, and sexuality frame the way we approach teaching and learning. We use the lens of storytelling – an important component of Critical Race Theory (CRT) – as a means to understand our relationships to our neighborhoods, communities, students, and schools in local and global contexts. Understanding the current discourses on race/racism and how they intersect with gender, social class and sexuality is necessary for envisioning ways of living and teaching within our diverse communities and classrooms today.
