Pedagogical Insights from Caribbean Studies Series

Caribbean Studies cuts across mountains, shorelines, bodies of waters, and boundaries. It pulses through postcolonial intellectual formations, grounding concepts such as liberation, maroonage, and the plantation.  

What does Caribbean Pedagogies offer us – as a community of scholars, students, and lifelong learners? Caribbean pedagogies disrupts colonial inheritances of the past and recovers insights for the future. Caribbean pedagogies range from the precise to the poetic. Caribbean pedagogies speak to everyday experiences as well as the longue durée of time that shape how we move in the world. Caribbean pedagogies is expansive. It does not limit our lives, relationships, and experiences to the margins. In short, Caribbean pedagogies teaches to think about curriculum and its impact, far-reaching and far-seeing, within and without the academy.

Join us for a series of three workshops where we share Caribbean-based teachings. We hope you will sift through ideas with us and also find some useful suggestions for your own pedagogical practice.
