Dirty Secrets And Silent Conversations: Exploring Radical Listening Through Embodied Autoethnographic Teaching, Carolyne Ali-Khan

Faculty Works: EDU (1995-2023)

In this article I explore the connections between radical listening, autoethnography and embodied pedagogy. Using my own experiences (and the context of patriarchy) as an example, I utilize layered narratives and theater metaphors to highlight the ways that listening in pedagogical spaces, can include listening to bodies and their histories. I examine the intricacies of creating a space for listening when the insights that come from the body are deeply personal.
