Grief Pedagogy: Bringing the Dead to Life

Welcome back, BWBK crew! This week's conversation explores the profound impact of loss and grief within the educational system, particularly focusing on the experiences of teachers and students. It delves into the complexities of navigating racism and capitalism in education, the complicity of educators in a flawed system, and the need for community support and advocacy for Black children in predominantly white spaces. The speakers reflect on their personal experiences with loss, the importance of valuing life, and the necessity of creating a supportive environment for both students and teachers.
