Seattle DSA Critical Pedagogy Reading Group

Join the Seattle DSA Critical and Revolutionary Pedagogy Reading Group to discuss bell hooks’ Teaching to Transgress (1994.) bell hook is the pen name of Gloria Jean Watkins, a Black feminist teacher and activist deeply involved in critical pedagogy building on the work of Paulo Freire and influenced by both marxist approaches to pedagogy and Black feminist thought. Her work explores the intersection of race, capitalism, and gender within the framework of critical pedagogy. In Teaching to Transgress, hooks writes about a transgressive approach in education where educators can teach students to transgress against racial, sexual, and class boundaries in order to work toward a practice of freedom.

Please joins us on Saturday, October 17th at 12:30pm via zoom.
Reading: Chapters 11 through the end of Teaching to Transgress by bell hooks with a focus on chapters 11 and 12. If you are not able to read the rest, those are the most important.
