Shaping the Classroom from the Inside
Posted on May 19, 2022 | No CommentsCrucial in this conversation is accessibility, not only in terms of access to scholarly materials, resources, readings, and other materials, but in the material conditions of accessibility.

Democratic Education Needs OER
Posted on May 12, 2022 | No CommentsAs a kid, I was always taught to value education over everything else because it was seen as the surest way to climb up the social ladder in a developing country. Now that I am involved in research about intergenerational mobility, the monetary aspect of access to education has caught my interest. -

Posted on May 5, 2022 | No CommentsI was able to teach Portuguese by using exclusively free materials and resources.

Posted on April 7, 2022 | No CommentsI believe that my teaching style and syllabus should reflect the social-justice orientation of the City University of New York and the John Jay College of Criminal Justice. -
A Reflection on Knowledge, Skill, and Pedagogy
Posted on March 31, 2022 | No CommentsTo accept [students' social mobility] as the limit of CUNY’s potential would be a betrayal of the movements that made it possible. Those of us who work and study here need to ask ourselves if a neoliberal conception of the university, as a place where rational individuals maximize their human capital to successfully compete in the labor market, is the most this place is capable of. -
OER and Critical Pedagogy: A Collaboration with Incomplete Artifacts
Posted on March 22, 2022 | No CommentsWe have a responsibility as educators to mobilize our authority in the classroom “against dominant pedagogical practices as part of the practice of freedom” and the choices we make in the creation of syllabi, the gathering of texts and materials, and the structuring and framing of assignments and course objectives, for example, enact their own politics. -
