If my purpose as a teacher is to invite my students to walk into the gap between their particular Flatland and journey of intensification into particularity, the very act of teaching requires that I do the same. lt requires that each time l walk into the classroom I attend cognitively and affectively to the chasm between what l desire for my students and what is possible in a course as students pursue their own desires

people? Are people bad? Can they be mean and scary? Can they trick other people? Do they kill small things, cute things? Do they ever lurk in darkness?” I add, “Remember what the book said…How do wolves symbolize OUR darkness?” This time the parents don’t hold back. I call on the first hand I see, but it is one of many; this question has struck a chord. Darkness, both symbolic and real, is something these parents are familiar with.The respondent is a grandmother, Laura. She is in her 50’s, raising

He’s particularly excited about the Impact FC (plus, the team’s debut season kicks off at Kent’s ShoWare Center on Nov. 8, the day before Croft’s birthday). “It’s really cool to see the indoor game trying to expand again like back in the ’80s,” he said. “The indoor game is different—more fast-paced

I want them to understand how people were convinced to not only hate these other people, but were able to rationalize killing them

commonly, Black people appeared in the background of portraits by white artists as exotic subjects. A notable exception being Josiah Wedgwood’s “Am I not a man and a brother” emblem first appearing in 1787 for use in the abolitionist movement.Black agency was rarely conveyed in European portraiture.

Working on this project I learned that it is a very real thing and that the systems in place are helpful, but are hard to access and navigate.

There are several ways to effectively utilize
