Register here: https://mit.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_4p-E6N5NTcOOFDQjixfxSw

The graduate students from nine universities of the Boston-area Consortium for Graduate Studies in Gender, Culture, Women, and Sexuality originally organized an interdisciplinary symposium titled "Technologies of resistance: towards feminist futures" to be held at MIT on April 4, 2020. Due to COVID-19 and campus closures, this event was reimagined as four separate panels to be held remotely.

This panel will reflect and discuss means to implement conscious pedagogies of resistance, or critical pedagogy in the classroom and beyond. Panelists will share how they draw on the political through their teaching, in the subjects they teach, or the methodologies they utilize.

Speakers include:

Kat Tanaka Okopnik, The Dictionary of Social Justice

Laura Nelson, Assistant Professor of Sociology, Northeastern University

Brooke Foucault Welles, Associate Professor of Communication Studies, Northeastern University

Brandy Williams, Graduate Researcher in Early Modern Critical Race and Gender Studies, University of Maryland at College Park
