Schooling the Flesh: The Body, Pedagogy, and Inequality

Antonia Darder’s lecture will address the politics of classroom life and the relationship between the body and the social and material processes of constructing knowledge. Key principles of a ‘critical pedagogy of the body’ are elaborated through an examination of dominant ideologies, educational practices, and questions of inequality. This work is presented as necessary for decolonizing the body within educational settings, and the transformation of educational practice. The lecture draws on essays on the body in “A Dissident Voice: Essays on Culture, Pedagogy, and Power”---a collection of essays that engages a variety of political questions rooted within the contentious terrain of culture and power.
