Looking for a post-2020 feminist (broadly defined) text I can call on specifically in a teaching statement!!

For so long I structured my feminist pedagogy as welcoming killjoy into the classroom. But now I'm faced with responding to student evals that are the exact opposite, accusing me of being the killjoy, "biased" and too focused on on "identity politics"

Clover was both the high water mark for faculty solidarity and also acted--rightfully--that what he did was the bare minimum. Sometimes things got contentious, but never ever uncomradely. Those of us who end up in the TT can only hope to emulate his model.

I still have to admit I don't always get the literary but it's been beautiful to read his poems the past day. And he didn't really care what methods people used, as long as they were committed for real, and he knew how to get you to commit for real in a supportive way.

I took his semi-annual Reading Marx class with a bunch of English grad students & then just me over in the corner, an itinerant geographer in a program that was often so quant & uncritical. I already knew him as a supporter of student activism but not as a teacher, and he was a really good teacher.

I remember when they first opened they just had random old chairs like clearly scavenged from people’s houses. Their new chairs are nice but I appreciated the way the old ones completed the auntie house aesthetic

That was in 2013. But my research and volunteering has been in Jenin many times since then but not in the camp as much, more in the villages. Hoping to be back this summer, was last there 2021-2022
