Join here by Zoom
The Woman of Colour Facebook Group, UTSA English, the K-SAA and Colby College
In this Teach-in we will explore dynamics and refusals at work in anti-racist pedagogies in traditionally white disciplines of Eighteenth-Century Studies, Romanticism, and Nineteenth-Century Studies.
v What are persisting points of obscurity in praxis aiming to be fully anti-racist and how might these be addressed?
v What is in danger of being ‘redacted’ (Christina Sharpe) as white fields incorporate Black, Indigenous, Latinx, Asian and decolonial studies?
v What must be continually divested in anti-racist pedagogical praxis?
10am-12pm Plenary talks and Discussion
v Global Literatures & Cultures in the Romantic Period Editorial Collective
