Civic Engagement Book Discussion, Session 1: Teaching to Transgress

Join the Center for Civic Engagement (CCE) and the Center for Integrated Professional Development (CIPD) for a community reading of Teaching to Transgress by bell hooks. In this book, hooks, a black feminist author and teacher, challenges traditional models of learning and advocates for classrooms that nurture critical thinking, joy, and liberation. She shares ideas for inclusive classroom practices that can transform not just how we teach but how we can learn and grow with each other.

In our first session, we will discuss the notion of Engaged Pedagogy. Hooks shares ideas for how we create learning spaces that acknowledge and celebrate diversity. 

A limited number of copies are available on a first-come, first-served basis through the CCE. You can also borrow copies from Milner Library or I-Share, or access the electronic version.  [Read more about the book online].
