Description
The Committee on Race, Equity and Inclusion, the BMCC Library and CETLS are co-sponsoring a bell hooks Book Club for the Spring 2022 semester. To honor Dr. hooks’ legacy and to further our work on culturally relevant, anti-racist, and trauma-informed pedagogy, the participants will read Teaching to Transgress: Education as the Practice of Freedom.
This first discussion will cover chapters 1-3 and will be guided by jean amaral (Library) and Hollis Glaser (Speech, Communications and Theatre Arts).
Future sessions are as follows:
- Session 2: Tuesday, March 29 at 1pm, Chapters 4-6
- Chapter 4, “Essentialism and Experience” guided by Agustin McCarthy
- Looking for volunteers for remaining chapters
- Session 3: Tuesday, April 12 at 11am, Chapters 7-9
- Chapter 7, “Holding my Sister’s Hand” guided by Victoria Apostol-Marius
- Looking for volunteers for remaining chapters
- Session 4: Thursday, May 5 at 3pm, Chapters 10-14
- Chapter 10, “Building a Teaching Community” guided by Robin G. Isserles

During the Zoom sessions, there will be breakout rooms by chapter, and we’re looking for volunteers to (gently) guide these conversations. If you are interested in volunteering, please contact Hollis at hglaser@bmcc.cuny.edu.
An electronic copy of the book is available here through the BMCC Library.
