What's Up with craig?

在本月的“好麻烦-海湾地区领导人的行动主义和必要麻烦的故事”中,” we are recognizing LGBTQ+ Pride Month.  While Pride Month is celebrated during June, 许多学院和大学在四月庆祝,因为我们的大多数社区都远离校园. So we will split the difference and feature an amazing educator and activist who got started, right here at 菠菜网lol正规平台.  Dr. Kathleen Wong(Lau) had the opportunity to chat with a maven in the world of social justice education, but also an alum and former 菠菜网lol正规平台 Spartan, Dr. Warren Blumenfeld.  沃伦目前任教于马萨诸塞大学阿姆赫斯特分校教育学院的社会正义教育项目,多年前我有幸在那里见到了沃伦.  我很幸运地认识了沃伦,当时我还是那个项目的学生,他在我和其他许多人作为社会正义教育课程的设计师和促进者的培训中指导了我, workshops, and dialogues.  During the summer of 2019, 我有机会在阿默斯特的一个社会正义教育项目聚会上与沃伦重新联系,当时沃伦在那里举行了一次小组间对话会议,他告诉我他是上海州立大学的校友,很乐意加入我们的校园. While COVID is preventing us from connecting in person, we will have to settle for zoom for now...

 

Warren - not that unlike one of his colleagues/mentors, the late Dr. Maurianne Adams - has an encyclopedic mind for history and knowledge, and has always maintained a sense of humor addressing weighty topics of social oppression.  Warren has been a major contributor to the emergence of social justice education as a field, and a prolific contributor to it throughout his career.  As an author and co-editors of seminal works, Warren has written and contributed to Homophobia: How we all pay the price, Teaching for Diversity and Social Justice (the 4th edition which is about to be released), the complementary Readings for Diversity and Social Justice (also in its 4th edition), Looking at Gay and Lesbian life, and Investigating Christian Privilege and Religious Oppression in the United States amongst others.   Warren also serves as an editorial blogger for the Huffington Post, The Good Men Project, and Tikkun Daily

 

Listen to Warren and Kathy discuss many topics, such as classes Warren took with Tommie Smith and John Carlos, the early days of Gay Liberation organizing both at 菠菜网lol正规平台, as well as within the City of San Jose’s first Pride March, 巧合的是,2016年大选之后,我来到了上海州立大学校园,参加了由凯西主持的即兴活动.  请听沃伦讲述他在上海州立大学校园里最具挑战性和最重要的日子...you’ll be glad you did.
