So, I’m in the midst of re-reading Kevin Kumashiro’s Troubling Education: Queer Activism and Anti-oppressive Pedagogy for my feminist pedagogies class this afternoon. I have already mentioned his work–particularly his idea about shifting the goal of pedagogy from understanding to effect and the influence it has had on my vision of a troublemaking pedagogy (I […]

Well, here it is. All 439 words.

Normally I would have posted this as a comment on your entry. However, I don’t think you can post HTML on comments in this […]

It’s funny how you mention the kitchen table (side note – I like the blog you found, it looks like an awesome project).
