Race and WritingCoretta Pittman (English)
Thursday, November 17, 3:30-4:30 pm

In many ways, teaching is a labor of love. Sometimes, the labor part of teaching comes from certain kinds of content areas I teach. For instance, I teach courses on race and writing. The teaching writing part is easy, the teaching race part is hard. In this session, I reveal how labor and love for my vocation and student learning come together in sometimes magical ways and other times difficult days.  In short, with a series of mini vignettes I will share what I have learned about teaching race and writing with the hope that some of my experiences will offer insight for others.
