Theme: Decolonizing Pedagogies Project: Senses, Bodies, and Education
This panel, part of the Decolonizing Pedagogies Project, engages the topic through an analysis of the experiences of educators in the classroom, the space of learning and the place from which an educator teaches, and the struggles involved in the process. The session is co-sponsored by AAR's "Latino/a Religion, Culture, and Society," "Transformative Scholarship and Pedagogy," and "Lesbian Feminist Issues in the Study of Religion" Groups.
