In Cultivating Genius, I (Gholdy) define oppression simply as any wrongdoing, hurt, or harm, including racism, sexism, homophobia, ableism, or any other oppression. Unlike lower case “c” critical, which is just deep and analytical thinking, Critical with a capital “c” is related to power, equity, and anti-oppression. As learning takes place, one asks, “How am I developing an understanding of power, equity, anti-racism and anti-oppression?”

I feel we address the issue of power ...but how to bring in equity and anti-oppression when looking at the past Im not sure what that looks like-is it looking at how people used their agency back then?

I think it takes something more than just lacing our curriculum with opportunities for Critical thinking...It takes the right kind of spark to ignite young people to go beyond just understanding...sometimes this can come in the form of the right teacher, and so I wonder where there is space for us to think critically about who and how we deliver this kind of curriculum. jesse241 https://padlet.com/jody57/tybyydcj758m4lxc/wish/1577354666 2021-06-01 18:54:51 UTC https://padlet.com/jody57/tybyydcj758m4lxc/wish/1577354666 https://padlet.com/jody57/tybyydcj758m4lxc/wish/1577356211 Students are more aware of the social injustices.  How can we help them to work towards social transformation?

This means that not only can they think critically and logically about their challenges, but have an understanding of the power structures that we all inhabit and how those power structures affect them in a given situation. -Zully]]> 2021-06-01 18:55:36 UTC https://padlet.com/jody57/tybyydcj758m4lxc/wish/1577356631 https://padlet.com/jody57/tybyydcj758m4lxc/wish/1577357305 I am wondering how to balance this idea and a sense of hope, joy and optimism at the same time.
