Teaching to Transgress Today: Theory and Practice In and Outside the Classroom

A lecture by Imani Perry (Professor, Center for African American Studies, and Faculty Associate, Program in Law and Public Affairs, Princeton University) followed by a dialogue with bell hooks, Karlyn Crowley (Director of the Cassandra Voss Center & Professor of English, St. Norbert College), Zillah Eisenstein (Distinguished Scholar-in-Residence & Professor of Political Theory and Anti-Racist Feminisms, Ithaca College), and Shannon Winnubst (Associate Professor, Department of Women’s, Gender and Sexuality Studies, Ohio State University) in a continuing discussion. Presented by Eugene Lang College (www.newschool.edu/lang).
bell hooks (née Gloria Watkins) is among the leading public intellectuals of her generation. Her writings cover a broad range of topics including gender, race, teaching, and contemporary culture. This fall marks the 20th Anniversary of the publication of Teaching to Transgress: Education as a Practice of Freedom, Dr. hooks’ seminal book on educational practices. This week-long residency is an opportunity for The New School community to directly engage with Dr. hooks and her commitment to education and learning as a place “where paradise can be created”

It would help to repeat the questions from the audience over the microphone so that it can be heard in the video.

Jesus was a Jew and therefore not white. The fact that he has been portrayed as white is one issue, but to then use Buddah as a more accurate deity and describe him as living, is not appropriate. this is an example of what Freire warns against. However, well-meaning, we must be careful not to become the new oppressor. I greatly admire the work of bell hooks and have been so inspired by her woks, but strongly disagree with this comment. Jesus is alive and we can and I do have a living and intimate relationship. With him through the Holy Spirit. Again, I am very grateful for all her inspirational work.
