The personal is pedagogy

Title

The personal is pedagogy

Description

In this chapter, we (two scholars of Color) critically reflect on our time teaching diversity required courses to predominantly white pre-service teachers at a predominately white institution (PWI). We frame our reflections using Critical Race Theory (CRT), which situates our experiences as data (i.e., experiential knowledge) from which to develop praxis that holds us, educators, accountable to CRT’s call for transformative, social justice education. More specifically, we describe how our professional endeavors teaching adult English language courses internationally and personal experiences as people from transnational families informed our experiences as teacher educators in local university spaces. These unique and informed perspectives significantly shaped the curriculum and pedagogy in ways that align with traditions of radical transformation and resistance.
