Between Hope and Despair: Teacher Education in the Age of Trump
Ali-Khan, Carolyne; White, John Wesley
Educational Philosophy and Theory, v52 n7 p738-746 2020
We are teacher educators trying to recalibrate to the world of Trump. As we search to find our new bearings, we recognize that the markers of meaning that we relied on (such as civility and truth) have been washed away, and we must now redefine how to create meaning in our work, and hope in our worlds. In this article, we combine examples of student interactions from our classes with inner dialogue to chronicle our search for hope. Working in the context of the US South, we highlight how drawing from critical theory allowed us to reach for moments of hope in dark times.
