Moya "What's Identity Got to Do With It?: Lecture: Thursday, March 4, 2004 Workshop: Friday, March 5, 2004 In her talk, Professor Moya argues that a serious consideration of the epistemic status of identity (both their own and that of their students) is crucial to educators' abilities to effectively integrate marginalized views into classroom discussion. She engages with the various difficulties (having to do with mistaking others' identities, as well as with resistances educators have to seeing their own blindnesses) that arise when educators attempt to do this. Additionally, she discusses ways for educators to incorporate into their pedagogical strategies an awareness of the power dynamics in the classroom, and how those dynamics reflect or refract the relations of inequality in the larger society. The workshop will include discussion of "Learning How to Learn from Others: Realist Proposals for Multicultural Education," a chapter from her book _Learning from Experience_. Copies of the chapter are available in the Simpson Center (CMU 206). [Read "Think Postpositive" from "The Chronicle of Higher Education"] The series was put on with the support of the Simpson Center for the Humanities and the Graduate School Fund for Excellence and Innovation, in addition to support from the Departments of English, Comparative Literature and Women Studies.
