Exploring the challenges of finding Black American representation in a predominantly white academic curriculum and the journey to self-education in Black myth and literature.
I've been thinking so much about academia lately. I strongly resonate with coping with classes by doodling. I also love your emphasis on how not just your mind but you felt that your spirit too was missing out on something. I wish the academy had more spirit infused into it. And I adore the language of "propagating" regarding pedagogy.
💙 "My frustration is essentially a question about belonging and whose thinking is worthy of propagating."
Thanks, Kay! The emphasis on spirit is important because I’m in a depth psychology program. We talk a lot about spirit, numinosity, gnosis, consciousness, etc. I feel really lucky to be in a program where that’s the case.
I'm so glad to hear that this aspect of your program is in alignment with your own values! I'm so excited to see the ways you continue making room for what you care about ✨.
