‘Hot Girl Teaching’ In A Faith-Based Environment, Niya Pickett Miller
Feminist Pedagogy
There is much to learn from Megan Thee Stallion, the self-proclaimed “Hot Girl Coach.” However, her provocative lyrics and hyper-sexuality are challenging to interject into communication-themed classes at a predominantly white, faith-based university where many students come with an expectation for learning that resists mainstream trends and upholds conventional Christian values and conservative ideological ways of thinking about socio-political issues. This commentary offers a faith-based and feminist perspective about how including Black popular culture, and (more broadly) culturally diverse texts in predominately white, faith-based classrooms can work and why such centering does not contradict biblical principles.

Feminist Pedagogy
In this critical commentary, I celebrate the artistry, activism, and career of Megan Thee Stallion and explore the #HotGirlSemesterSyllabus as a pedagogical tool for a course on Southern Black Feminist Poet(ic)s. I also introduce #HotGirlSemesterSyllabus Accompaniment: Performance, Literary, and Visual Art as a syllabus companion and arts integration resource.
