Students. Scholars. Community

voices to the
community.
They are our future scholars and change leaders.
What is critical student discourse?
Students share their thoughts, opinions, and analysis on current issues by integrating topics they have learned within the classroom. Students are assigned a topic to talk about, however what they do with that topic is up to them. I ask that they be as creative as they wish but have a critical eye on their views on society.

How will you use this knowledge to help your community?
This is was a common phrase I heard while attending Howard University. It was in every class, no matter the teacher or subject. This has influenced by scholarship and they ways in which I teach. I want to bridge the gap between the community and the ivory towers.
Attending a university tends to silo students from the outside world, therefore I want students to remember that they are a part of a larger community. Many students do not interact with those that have different social identities as themselves, therefore I want student to engage outside their comfort zone and become global citizens. The larger community should have access to thoughtful analyses of current social issues, without a paywall.
