Transgressive Body, Open Mind, and Perceptive Spirit for Nurturing Soul: A Reflection on Teaching to Transgress
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: In this reflection essay, I discuss my journey into the liberatory pedagogy bell hooks champions. As a foreign-born Japanese woman, who speaks English as her second language, being in the classroom itself can be seen as a transgressive act. Positioning myself as an educator who strives to creates an environment that is liberatory for me and my students, I discuss my specific experience and relationship to theories surrounding critical feminist pedagogy and how I practice these theories in my own classroom.
