Creating Community Safety from Racialized Policing Using Contextual Fluidity, an Emerging Practice Model for Anti-Oppressive Pedagogy Embracing Cultural Diversity | centeringmargins |
This syllabus will lay the groundwork for creating community safety using contextual fluidity1 amid the increasing criminalization of care, cultures of violence, and on- going genocide. It will generate discussion centering margins and inspire those who resist being excluded, oppressed, and live under the constant threat of violence. Tatum states that a subordinate group has to focus on survival in a situation of unequal power2 . Borrowing from black abolition feminist scholar Andrea Ritchie, movements against police violence should promote “…nurturing values, visions, and practices”. 3 Friere’s underlying message of conscientization in Pedagogy of the Oppressed is that it is everyone’s responsibility to respond to the situation positively and thoughtfully.4
