- Allies in Learning and Teaching

Catalog description

An exploration of the theory and practice of critical pedagogy. Participants in this course will understand and analyze foundational works in the areas of democratic, abolitionist, feminist, queer, and critical teaching and learning methods. We will continually apply the insights and interventions of these works to concrete contexts, including but not limited to college classrooms, community groups, and organizing campaigns. Working with key texts and bringing them to bear on our lived environment, we will become more active and critical learners in settings at and beyond Skidmore. Course participants will practice mediation and facilitation skills in classroom settings.
