Abstract
ABSTRACT This poem was written as a final project for the author’s Critical Perspectives in Education course at George Mason University in Fall of 2021. In addition to having students read critical works, Dr. Dodman, the professor, encouraged creative reflections and non-traditional reading responses. The author also engaged in an Extended Communal Engagement (ECE) group with two peers to discuss the readings and make real-world connections. This poem is the author’s final project in which she reflects on her readings and experiences with critical pedagogies. It was her hope that the poem would not only fulfill the course requirements but also be shared with a wider community of critical scholars, thus acting as praxis—practice and action. The poem is set in the context of the post-vaccination time of the COVID-19 global pandemic, in which the course was still taught online, but most businesses had reopened.
期刊介绍:
Equity & Excellence in Education publishes articles based on scholarly research utilizing qualitative or quantitative methods, as well as essays that describe and assess practical efforts to achieve educational equity and are contextualized within an appropriate literature review. We consider manuscripts on a range of topics related to equity, equality and social justice in K-12 or postsecondary schooling, and that focus upon social justice issues in school systems, individual schools, classrooms, and/or the social justice factors that contribute to inequality in learning for students from diverse social group backgrounds. There have been and will continue to be many social justice efforts to transform educational systems as well as interpersonal interactions at all levels of schooling.
