Pedagogies for Social Justice and Civic Engagement
Proposal abstract :
This project aims to develop two courses. The first course will explore the nexus of religion, race, and citizenship in the Americas, while the second will examine the alternative geographies of belonging that Afro-descendant people have constructed through print cultures. To better develop these courses, I intend to conduct archival research at the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture at the New York Public Library in Harlem, New York. This project is invested in building the conceptual frameworks that students employ when confronting issues of race, racialization, religion and citizenship, while also exposing them to the primary source material connected to the cultural, religious and political commitments of Black people across the diaspora.
Learning Abstract :
Given the current political climate in which we find ourselves, I believe it is important that students adequately understand the nexus between religion, race, citizenship, civic engagement, and (counter)publics. To this end, I am currently developing two new courses that will allow students to critically engage with these issues. The first course is entitled Black Perspectives in Print (which I will teach in Summer 2025), and Religion, Race and Citizenship (to be offered in Fall 2025).
