More Than a Zoom Box on Legs: Locating Women of Color in Virtual Learning Landscapes of Theological Education

This paper explores how racialized and gendered meaning-making occurs online by engaging feminist theorists in phenomenology, digital anthropology and biotechnology. This paper then considers the pedagogical implications of how the virtual bodies of women of color are located, perceived, and acted upon in the virtual learning landscape of theological education. These understandings are crucial to the application of engaged pedagogy in the virtual leaning landscape. Recognizing that to show up as one’s full self is to become vulnerable to violence, this paper concludes with an invitation to pedagogical promiscuity, an embodied learning approach that aims toward liberation for all learners.
