S02E09 | Teaching While Women of Color: Part 2
How can we teach and care for our students in ways we are still learning to do for ourselves? It's not just about content, lessons, and assignments -- it's also about vulnerability and emotional labor. Join us for the laughter, tips, and anecdotes in the second part of a two-part series where Xine brings together Mariana Alarcon, Elizabeth Alexander, Aurora Masum-Javed, and Renia White from the Cornell English PhD and MFA programs for a lively conversation about teaching while WOC. We talk about the rewards of teaching, negotiating our authorities in the classroom, and developing our teaching personae. How do we teach #BlackLivesMatter and "let the world into our classrooms"? Hope you find this episode as generative as we did!
