Title: Reframing teacher emotion: Care as racialized, critical, and spiritual practice
Abstract: This presentation examines teacher care as a racialized, critical, and spiritual emotion and classroom practice. Models of teacher care will be presented and problematized illustrating how current white feminist and black feminist theories overlook the spiritual aspect of teacher care and its relation to social justice work when engaging with students whose social and cultural identities and histories differ from our own. This work draws from Dillard’s (2012) endarkened epistemology and Brooke Harris Garad’s (2013) model of spiritually-centered caring.


Date: 18th July 2013
