A History of Pedagogy and Power with Dr. Jarvis Givens

 

Join us for The Fugitive Life of Black Teaching: A History of Pedagogy and Power

Thursday, October 21st 5pm - 6pm CT | Zoom Webinar Dr. Jarvis Givens (Harvard Graduate School of Education) offers the term "fugitive pedagogy" to characterize African Americans' subversive traditions of teaching and learning from the slavery era through Jim Crow. Using the life of famed educator and historian Carter G. Woodson as a lens, Givens reveals an expansive world of African American teachers who cultivated dreams and aspirations in generations of students, despite a world order built on black subjection. And as he will demonstrate, much of this work took place through discreet, quiet acts of resistance. Givens insists that black educators' pedagogical traditions were essential to the Long Black Freedom Struggle and formed the roots of anti-racist teaching in the United States.
