On Writing In This Moment, Susan Steinberg
On Writing In This Moment, Susan Steinberg
Journal of Interdisciplinary Perspectives and Scholarship
In On Writing in this Moment, Susan Steinberg, novelist and professor from the Department of English, offers both provocation and perspective, celebrating those who are deep in a project, who have deadlines to be writing toward as this can be an opportunity to focus on something besides our overwhelming moment of COVID-19 and chaos. But she also opens the door to not writing, to allowing experience to stand without demanding a retelling right now.
A Reflection On Writing In The Time Of Covid-19, Lara Bazelon
A Reflection On Writing In The Time Of Covid-19, Lara Bazelon
Journal of Interdisciplinary Perspectives and Scholarship
In her piece, A Reflection on Writing in the Time of COVID, Lara Bazelon, Phillip and Muriel C. Barnett Chair in Trail Advocacy in the School of Law, draws inspiration from working mothers who she is interviewing, “mothers with dreams and a determination to seek excellence.” Even in this moment with no “home office” besides the kitchen table, no school for children besides home school, it is not the personal words per day, but the core subjects that fuel commitment, the interpersonal that sustains engagement.
Coronavirus Notes: Stitching A New Garment, Rick Ayers
Coronavirus Notes: Stitching A New Garment, Rick Ayers
Journal of Interdisciplinary Perspectives and Scholarship
Writer and professor Rick Ayers, from the Teacher Education Department, invites us to embrace contingent and incomplete writing, to “write into the contradiction”, into what we don’t know rather than waiting for certainty. In his piece, Coronavirus Notes: Stitching a New Garment, he discusses how he uses writing to figure things out, to perhaps build from the rupture that we are living toward our hopes to live differently.

A School Of Education Curricular Response To Anti-Blackness, Emma Fuentes, Colette Cann
International Journal of Human Rights Education
In this article, the authors share the inspiration for and development of a new concentration in a doctoral program at the University of San Francisco. The concentration, Racial Justice and Education, is grounded in four pillars of knowledge, love, solidarity and justice. The concentration allows doctoral students to study critical race theory and critical Whiteness studies. In addition, students take two ethnic studies courses that focus on the educational experiences of different racial and ethnic groups, as well as relational histories and shared solidarities across groups. During multiple pandemics that disparately harm Black communities (including state-sanctioned violence against Black communities …

(Un)Hidden Grief And Loss Inform The Movement For Black Lives, Aaminah Norris, Babalwa Kwanele
International Journal of Human Rights Education
We are Black women and lifelong friends committed to the movement for Black lives because it impacts us, our families, and our communities. After the death of George Floyd, we began a purposeful and concerted effort to address the trauma of state-sanctioned murders, the Covid-19 pandemics, and the California wildfires on us and our community in our work. Our effort, grounded in sisterhood, is a quest for collective healing. During our search, we uncovered the complexity of grief over systemic racism and anti-Black hate. This essay is our effort to acknowledge, name, and frame complex grief and its impact on …

Critical Post-Traumatic Growth Among Black Femme High School Students Within The School To Prison Pipeline: A Focus On Healing, Stacey C. Ault
Critical Post-Traumatic Growth Among Black Femme High School Students Within The School To Prison Pipeline: A Focus On Healing, Stacey C. Ault
International Journal of Human Rights Education
Both educational research and practices pay little attention to the experiences of girls related to trauma within the school-to-prison pipeline. Educators typically take a deficit approach toward youth experiencing trauma and often reinforce trauma through discriminatory and exclusionary disciplinary practices. Using a Youth Participatory Action Research (YPAR) methodology centered in the authentic experiences of Black girls, with an intentional focus on their agency and growth, I conducted a research study that educated, coached, and supported a research team collectively known as Queens Speak. This research explored the emerging, explanatory conceptual framework of Critical Post-Traumatic Growth. This framework combines Critical Race …

Truth-Telling As Decolonial Human Rights Education In The Movement For Black Liberation, David Ragland
Truth-Telling As Decolonial Human Rights Education In The Movement For Black Liberation, David Ragland
International Journal of Human Rights Education
Despite the rise of the Western human rights regime in the years following WWII, Black communities suffered from continuous human rights abuses. The work of the Truth Telling Project during the Ferguson movement discovered flaws in Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) models when applied to Black liberation struggles in the United States. TRCs were situated as a human rights tool within international civil society to address the abuses of nation-states, corporations and individuals who committed crimes against humanity; however, the needs of the age in which we live in the United States require truth-telling that can reveal historical exclusions. Furthermore, …

“Until We Are First Recognized As Humans”: The Killing Of George Floyd And The Case For Black Life At The United Nations, Balthazar I. Beckett, Salimah K. Hankins
International Journal of Human Rights Education
Following the brutal killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis on May 25, 2020, members of the human rights movement in the United States understood instantly that justice within the American legal system, which has a long history of shielding police officers and racist vigilantes from prosecution, was anything but certain. To enhance the chances of having the individual officers (Derek Chauvin, J. Alexander Kueng, Thomas Lane, and Tou Thao) prosecuted for Floyd’s death, but also to have demands for systemic change heard and amplified, the United States Human Rights Network (USHRN) and the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) worked with …
