Teaching CUNY at CUNY

Talia Shalev, Danica Savonick, Wendy Tronrud

August 25 | 12:00 – 1:00 | The Graduate Center, CUNY rm. 4406

In this workshop, we will share approaches for thinking alongside students about the kinds of spaces for learning and writing that have been created – and challenged –  by administration, activist students, and faculty at CUNY. In particular, we will share reading and writing assignments and other resources that refer to the late 1960s as a key moment of change and activism at CUNY (Open Admissions, SEEK Program)–resources that draw on the poetry and pedagogy of writers who taught at CUNY: June Jordan, Audre Lorde, and Adrienne Rich.
