Podcasts about transgress education

In a time of crisis and conflict, how can we find agency and work together across spaces in ways that contribute to a more just, caring and equal world? Join us for our very first LIVE recording, straight from the Politics of Inequality Conference at the London School of Economics in London, where we speak with the amazing Lyla Adwan-Kamara and Dr. Philippa Mullins. Two people bringing unique personal and professional perspectives to these questions, with a level of depth and care that we wish everyone to hear. Lyla is a Ghana-based Palestinian-Irish mental health and disability rights activist and leader who doesn't shy away from speaking out with great clarity. Philippa is a researcher and educator in disability and resistance studies with a clear vision for equity in knowledge production.We talk about working from a place of hurt and joy, how to navigate these challenging times whilst recognizing the injustices we see are not new, what it means to stand in solidarity and address inequalities in our everyday life, work and the institutions we are a part of. We hear about the importance of rest and kindness, understanding and honoring our values whilst recognizing fluidity and mess, and - of course - being in community.References coming up in the conversation: Tuck and Yang - Paris I Proof  bell hooks - Teaching to Transgress: Education as the Practice of Freedom Dionne Brand – “One enters a room and history follows; one enters a room and history precedes.

We explore just the precipice of whether violence and love can coexist. Listen more to hear our thoughts and encouragement to explore beloved author, bell hooks's, "All About Love: New Visions," which discusses aspects of love in modern society. We also recommend Ly Tran's memoir, "House of Sticks," that recounts her journey from war-torn Vietnam to Queens, NYC, and the power we have to alter and fight against the odds for a greater opportunity. We shift our conversation to a lighter note on Netflix's, "The Adam Project," that explores the frailty of time and the dynamic between our current self in relation to our kid self.

We invite you to our conversation with queer Chicanx educator Ale, who teaches English to 9th graders in LA. She shares about the pandemic as a portal to creativity, letting go of perfectionism, co-creating space with her LGBTQ+ students, and what it means to explore her queer identity from a place of joy and ease. We also reflect with J, a college senior on the cusp of graduation, about her exploration of selfhood and sexuality in school. Brooklyn high school teacher and poet Meghan Dunn shares a poem about girlhood and the body from Curriculum, her beautiful book of poems. Finally, we ask: What are the ties to heteronormativity that you must break in order to do your self-work? What do you have to relinquish as a return to loving yourself and to loving? How will you move into deeper connection with yourself? Intellectual Inheritance “Seven Stages of Conocimiento,” Gloria E.

Dr. Jan Willis discusses her lifetime of teaching Buddhism and Buddhist studies courses. She reflects on helping students broaden their horizons and find their true selves, just as she discovered the wider world of higher education after surviving childhood in the segregated south. In her teaching, she uses stories to connect students with the pivotal moments in history that shape our understanding of social justice and engaged Buddhism. Jan is a Professor Emerita of Religion at Wesleyan University in Connecticut and Visiting Professor of Religion at Agnes Scott College in Decatur, Georgia. In addition to her research on Tibetan Buddhism, Buddhist saints' lives, and women and Buddhism, she also publishes on her personal experience of being a Black woman in Buddhist studies. This episode was recorded in January 2022. Memorable Quotations “I was raised in a mining camp outside of Birmingham, a town that was a mining camp that was split down the middle by one street. Blacks on one side, whites on the other. We dare not cross the road.” Jan Willis “I praise all of my strong black women teachers.” Jan Willis “I saw math and music as having universal languages. Here are languages that can be understood by anyone who reads that language.” Jan Willis “I was one of those faceless 15 year olds, tenth graders, who marched with King. So in '63 that had happened and that transformed my whole life. But in '65, when I got these scholarships, the Klan marched on our home. This was something that we'd grown up knowing about, the Klan targeted people from time to time.” Jan Willis “It was very, very dangerous I knew from the beginning, to be conspicuous in the south. It was frightening.” Jan Willis “So the Klan comes,… They set up a cross, 12 or 15 foot in front across the street from the house in an alleyway. And they light it. So I'm amazed. I'm awestruck. I'm dumbfounded, gobsmacked. Because first, the robes are not all white. There are red robes and there are purple robes, and the second thing is that they're men and women and children enrobed. This really strong urge came up in me to go out and talk to them… I wanted to teach them that just as they were a family, we were a family inside this house just like them.” Jan Willis “I call it a 'dual education,' our teachers made sure that we not only learned English literature, but we learned black literature. That we not only sang the national anthem, but we sang the negro National anthem as well. That we recited poems... That I can meet people, African-Americans today, a number of times I can meet them if they are my same age we can start reciting the same poem, we'll make the same hand gestures. So there was this dual education going on all the time which said 'you are somebody,' 'You have a tradition,' and we celebrated that.” Jan Willis “Those teachers were practicing ‘fugitive pedagogy,' what Jarvis Givens calls it, because it's an education that's meant to uplift the spirit as well as to uplift self-esteem.” Jan Willis “I don't want to convert those students, but I want those students to find their true selves, which I think are compassionate and capable. I want to help them discover that.” Jan Willis “My mission turned out to be helping them discover what they knew and helping them find the tools to research it further.” Jan Willis “Culturally, I'm African-American, but if I want to solve a problem, Buddhism has a lot of answers.” Jan Willis “I say, '10-20 years from now you won't remember all these dates, and this, that, the other. What do you think you'll carry forward as the most important teaching of the Buddha?' I think early on they're saying things, they come into the class some of them might say 'wisdom,' 'emptiness,' they don't understand any of that, but they've read it somewhere in there.” Jan Willis “Dhammapada 183, which says 'Do no harm, practice virtue, discipline the mind. This is the teaching of all the buddhas' I think that summarizes the whole thing. If you can get that flavour to students, it's the whole kit and caboodle right there.” Jan Willis “Doing no harm is right there, it's Martin Luther King's nonviolent resistance… Because we're all in this together and we'll all go down together unless we can learn to live together.” Jan Willis “King used to say there are three evils of society: over consumerism, militarism, and racism. Now in Buddhism, that racism would be the ignorance, the militarism is hatred, and the consumerism is greed, right? But in his last year he changed consumerism to poverty.” Jan Willis “We're all connected. I can't be who I am until you are who you ought to be, and you can't be who you ought to be until I am who I ought to be. It's so clear.” Jan Willis LINKS Jan Willis https://www.janwillis.org/ Jan Willis.

Amy:  Welcome to Breaking Down Patriarchy! I'm Amy McPhie Allebest. Today we are going to discuss one of the most clearly-written, accessible texts on Patriarchy and Feminism that I've ever read. It's called “feminism is for everybody: passionate politics,” and it's by the iconic author, professor, cultural critic and social activist, bell hooks. It was originally published in the year 2000, and for this episode my reading partner and I read the new edition that came out  in 2014. And speaking of my reading partner, I'd like to introduce Gina Haney. Hi, Gina! Gina: Hi, Amy! Amy: Gina and I met during our first week of a Master's program at Stanford, and we have taken several classes together, including one called “International Women's Health and Human Rights” and another called “The Civil Rights Movement in History and Memory.” So we've had lots of enriching discussions on these topics through the years, and I know the kinds of compelling insights that you bring to texts, Gina. Before we dive into the book, can you tell us a little more about yourself? Gina: As a woman in my fifties raised in rural Virginia, I cherish the diversity the world has to offer  and have spent several years living and working in the Middle East, Africa, and South America.  In 2008, I founded Community Consortium and began, with the government of Iraq, a  stakeholder-driven management plan and World Heritage nomination for the site of Babylon.  A mother of two girls, I appreciate the women who worked and are working to establish a more  inclusive and empathetic world, like bell hooks. I received my undergraduate degree from Mary Washington University and a graduate degree  from the University of Virginia. As Amy said, I am currently pursuing graduate studies at Stanford University. My research topic is understanding the Power of Place in a township in Zimbabwe. I plan to examine this place through the lens on the colonial government and the contemporary residents. Ultimately, i will understand these two narratives within the story that is being told to tourists about this place today. I have been a Girl Scout leader for 7 years, I love to knit and preserve food from my garden. Amy: Thanks, Gina. It's so great to have you here. Let's now learn a little about the author. Gina, can you tell us about bell hooks? Gina: We are using the biography that bell hooks has chosen to represent herself on the bell hooks institute website. It says: “bell hooks is an acclaimed intellectual, feminist theorist, cultural critic, artist, and writer. hooks has authored over three dozen books and has published works that span several genres, including cultural criticism, personal memoirs, poetry collections, and children's books. Her writings cover topics of gender, race, class, spirituality, teaching, and the significance of media in contemporary culture.  Born Gloria Jean Watkins in Hopkinsville, Kentucky, bell hooks adopted the pen name of her maternal great-grandmother, a woman known for speaking her mind. hooks received her B.A. from Stanford University, her M.A. from the University of Wisconsin and her Ph.D. from the University of California, Santa Cruz. Her books include  Ain't I a Woman: Black Women and Feminism,  Rock My Soul: Black People and Self-Esteem,  Teaching to Transgress: Education as the Practice of Freedom,  Teaching Community: A Pedagogy of Hope,  Where We Stand: Class Matters,  We Real Cool: Black Men and Masculinity.” And Feminism Is for Everybody: Passionate Politics--the text we are discussing today. Also interesting to note is that bell hooks does not capitalize her name. On the website of the university where she teaches, Berea College in Kentucky, it explains this choice: “she has chosen the lower case pen name bell hooks, based on the names of her mother and grandmother, to emphasize the...

I knew this day would come. Here's an attempt to explain what was going on in my brain when I chose the name for the podcast. In the interview section, I talk with Dr. Jennifer Kuchenbecker Thomas about growing up “Bossy”, Boomers and Gen Xers, raising daughters today, and how language has evolved to better describe feminist terms. ————————.
