BOOK DISCUSSION: TEACHING TO TRANSGRESS

"The academy is not paradise. But learning is a place where paradise can be created. The classroom, with all its limitations, remains a location of possibility. In that field of possibility we have the opportunity to labor for freedom, to demand of ourselves and our comrades, an openness of mind and heart that allows us to face reality even as we collectively imagine ways to move beyond boundaries, to transgress. This is education as the practice of freedom.”

A community discussion of Teaching to Transgress: Education as the Practice of Freedom by bell hooks. We'll focus on the introduction and chapters 1-3 but feel free to read the entire book beforehand—or to come without having read anything at all. Open to all part-time and full-time faculty. Led by Tuesda Roberts and Kim McLarin.
