I am concerned with how education and the dissemination of information can be used to exclude or include certain privileged perspectives and epistemologies. As an anthropologist, I am especially cognizant of the history of the discipline – and how without creating space for critique from anthropologists of historically marginalized identities, students from these backgrounds may feel alienated or excluded from the material. I encourage my students to think critically about the readings, gain the skills to effectively communicate their ideas in their writing, and to synthesize the ideas from the course, so that they can apply them to their own lives. I also use a range of scholarship—academic, non-academic, and forms of media—alongside assignments that encourage reflexivity and collaboration with classmates to give students space to apply their readings to a variety of topics.
