This was such an interesting article. The article talks about identity in the learning space. There was a great quote in here- “This CFP intends to allow our readers and writers to narrate their experiences — not only of oppression, but of difference. The goal is to make space for a broader perspective, to bring otherwise marginalized voices (or bits of voices no matter how small) to the fore. We’re seeking reflections upon the lived (and often distinctly physical) experiences we have in classrooms and a consideration of how we build a pedagogy from those experiences.” We have talked about the idea of difference in class before. All of our students will come from different backgrounds and each will have their own experiences that different from each others and our own. The article pointed out how their editorial bard is made of 3 gay men, 2 women, and 2 straight men, all of them white and educated. While they are similar in 2 ways, their differences are a part of their identity and likely changed their experiences even within school.
