Learning While Black

This course employs Blackness as an embodied subjectivity (both individual and collective) that is central to Black learners and the Black experience in education. Using creative, critical and decolonial methods of teaching and learning, this course will engage an interdisciplinary study of what it means to learn while being Black (both historically and contemporarily) in contexts of colonialism, slavery and anti-Black racism in Canada. The course will also engage a critical interrogation of the role that education systems (can) play for Black freedom, liberation, and self-determination, both locally, in Canada and globally.
