Abstract

This poetic, autobiographic performance piece frames the intersection of the personal and the political for a scholar-practitioner, one who is a life-longer learner and voracious reader. The utilization and examination of critical pedagogy/ies through poetic aesthetics animates the author’s teaching, research, and pursuit of personal transformation.
