Public Discussions of Love

Public Discussions of Love: Moving Toward Critical Consciousness in the (Middle School) Writing Classroom presented by Jessica Blanchard, New Mexico State University

Following a reading of vignettes and a snapshot rendering of bell hooks' notion of Love, participants will engage in journal writing and discussion activities designed to facilitate critical consciousness-raising encounters. This portion of the panel discussion is interactive. As such, personal disclosure in the group, though voluntary, is highly encouraged.
