Let Us Meet There: Black and Asian Women Making a Pedagogical Home in the Margin(s)

Saturday, 3:00 PM - 4:30 PM | Hilton Bayfront-Cobalt 520 (Fifth Level) Session ID: A23-342
Abstract for Online Program Book (maximum 150 words)

Using a Black and Asian women peer learning experience as a narrative frame, this creative presentation explores the possibilities and challenges of women of color making a pedagogical home in the margin(s). Through vignette-based reflections, this presentation celebrates and critiques various embodied and margin-formed practices that carry gifts of knowledge and wisdom that are often unacknowledged in the formal academic context but that shape and form who we are, how we know, and what we are becoming. These practices bear witness to the legacies of our forebearers and point us toward pedagogies of care and solidarity for women of color. Inspired by bell hooks' notion of the margin as a site of resistance, creativity, power, and inclusion, we aim to inspire participants to re-member, embody, and reflect on their pedagogical formation and how teaching from, in, and for the margins might (re)energize their practice of theological education.
