We hold monthly workshops on important intersectionality ideas. These workshops provide time and space to discuss, share, and reflect upon our teaching practices with our colleagues. This episode is about our most recent workshop.
This workshop continued on the subject of labor. We reviewed definitions, read and discussed Virginia Woolf, and reflected on our own labor in the classroom.
For our Social Media Moment we suggest two articles: "What 'Good' Dads Get Away With" from the New York Times, and a chapter from Melinda Gates' new book Moment of Lift called "The Massive, Hidden Cost of Women's Unpaid Work". Look them up!!
Questions to consider:
1. Why is it important that teachers understand, recognize, and honor different kinds of labor?
2. What types of labor do we expect from our students? What types of labor are expected of us as teachers?
3. Why is it important that we teacher our students about different types of labor and to honor different types of labor?
