These conversations help move us toward transformation:a transformation that centers the freedom and justice of our earth, amplifies voices from across the gender spectrum, and centers Black, Indigenous and People of Color. We acknowledge the energy of discomfort these conversations may bring and hope this very energy will help shift the greater dialogue to support the changes needed in outdoor and cycling communities - and our world.

From Teach For America to leading her own classroom at the Punahou School in Honolulu, Hawai‘i, Torres opens up about her journey as a social justice educator. Throughout the episode we circle back to three major questions:What is my work in justice now, given my position of privilege?How can I make my kids feel safe/heard/comforted at this moment in time?How can I continuously reflect and grow in my own awareness about matters of justice in the world?We know that our students will face a variety of challenges, injustices and problems in the world. It’s not about what they will experience but a matter of how they might experience it. Social justice oriented educators strive to equip students with the tools to navigate the challenges (not necessarily solve them). We help students understand the “danger of a single story.” Finally, we explore the tension between staying aware and protecting our mental health/managing tumultuous times through self-care. We share our own strategies for helping students discuss these important issues while managing the array of emotion present in any given classroom.References & Resources:Read Christina’s work at any of the following: ChristinaTorres.Org, Teaching Tolerance, Honolulu Civil Beat, TeacherPop, PRX’s OnBeing, and EdWeek Teacher.Hope especially likes these two pieces: Assessment as an Act of Love; Mindfulness Won’t Save Us.

Shakespeare is arguably the most widely taught author in the United States, but should he be? Christina Torres has been teaching Shakespeare to her students for the past seven years. She loves Shakespeare, she's read it, she's performed it, and it's an integral part of the lessons she crafts for her eighth-graders in Honolulu. However, Torres recently opened up about why she feels guilty about assigning Shakespeare to her students. "The guilt comes from wondering what would it mean for my students if my students had more access to literature from someone with a similar background," says Torres. Torres, who is half Mexican and half Filipino, says she did not get access to a Latino author until her junior year of high school. "It was this huge revelation," says Torres. "Here's a Mexican writer, writing about things I understand! It was so overwhelming, and I feel a little sad that it did not happen to me until I was 16." Torres says she can't help but feel guilty that she's taking time in her curriculum that could be dedicated to other authors. After all, most schools teach Shakespeare through several grade levels. Torres's concerns don't stop there. To hear our full interview with Torres listen to Episode 130 of the Class Dismissed Podcast on your favorite podcast app or iTunes. All Rights Reserved.

Listen to this episode to hear Christina Torres share her perspective on: Breaking free of the fear of what others may - or may not be - thinking about you. Stereotypes of motherhood.
