Histories of Color in Critical Pedagogy: The Collective Re-Memory of Trauma and Resistance

Abstract
In this paper I analyze learning communities of color of the past and present and how they resist the dominant White narratives of racial progress and consensus in their social studies teaching, both in curricula and in praxis/structure. I will use the frameworks of Critical Race Theory, Critical Pedagogy, and Toni Morrison's term Re(Memory) to explore what has been necessary to make for such environments and what stands in their way. I will look at historical examples in California and contemporary examples in New York. I also include anecdotes of how to flip the script on dominant racial narratives. I hope to argue that we need to pair school reform with analyses of extra-institutional spaces if we want to continue the revolutionary ideals of the 60s.

Sex Work, Theory and Praxis: A Study in Student Dialogue

Abstract
Drawing from eight separately conducted student interviews, this thesis analyzes student perception of sex work and the relationship between theory and praxis in discussions surrounding sex work. Through these discussions and related research, I observed a general disconnect between sex work in philosophical terms and sex work in pragmatic terms; students typically accepted sex work in an idealized world but were conflicted when confronted with the realities of sex work. With this data in mind, I discuss public and academic opinion towards sex work. I then analyze the nature and implications of the debate between two feminist schools of thought; the empowerment perspective and the oppression perspective. I argue that the polarizing effects of the language and sentiment of these two paradigms are detrimental, both for future sex work policy as well as for the agency and well-being of individual sex workers.
