Imma go ahead a say it:

Organizations and institutions need to stop promoting people to give workshops on antiracist pedagogy who have not demonstrated that they know what antiracist pedagogy looks like. I’ve read through a very different workshops lately, in German Studies, 1/

And let me tell you what I saw was not only not antiracist pedagogical methods for German Studies, it was downright offensive.

Focusing your course on Black & brown bodies and their works does *not* make your course antiracist. It just demonstrates that you do not know 2/

what antiracism in pedagogy looks like and that the overwhelming white noise of German Studies has remained unchecked. If you don’t confront your own white gaze upon Black & brown bodies, how the hell you gonna teach your students differently?

Honestly, I’m embarrassed. 3/

Should read *a variety of workshops

Apparently I was so irritated I missed those typos.
