Brooklyn’s in the house!! This week we talk to high school English teacher, NYU doctoral student, and NCTE diversity committee member LaMar Timmons-Long about how he cultivates a vibrant classroom experience that stands firmly in the intersection of justice and joy. How does one navigate the multitude of oppressive systems and bring justice-oriented pedagogy and practice to the classroom? And why should other dope educators out there consider dipping their toes into academia by pursuing doctorate degrees? But first, Jeff and Manuel take a look at recent stories in education including a warning issued by scientists about the threat of “anti-woke” education policies and a new study detailing privacy dangers and security risks in common EdTech tools.
