Collective Actions

The EPRG will be an engaged living practice, involving networks of participants from the diversity of creative educational fields, working together at the forefront of politics, philosophy and pedagogy where new thinking is co-conceived and co-constructed through praxis.

Un/Commoning Pedagogies: Forging Collectivity Through Difference in the Embodied Classroom and Beyond https://performancematters-thejournal.com/index.php/pm/article/view/385

ABSTRACT

Un/Commoning Pedagogies Collective are seven dancer-scholars who centre embodied anti-racist praxis in our teaching across the fields of anthropology, sociology, African American and Africana studies, gender, sexuality and women’s studies, dance, and performance studies. Since 2019, the Un/Commoning Pedagogies Collective has engaged in consistent, process-based collaboration around teaching, scholarship, movement practice, and collegiality. We have co-authored essays, facilitated workshops, and given talks and performances. We also share syllabi, strategies, stories, milestones, failures, resources, and friendship. This writing is rooted in our ongoing collaborations and documents a co-generation of knowledge about the possibilities and tensions of teaching with and through our full-bodied selves. Moving beyond the syllabus, we offer you a glimpse into our concerns, commitments, experiences, and strategies as movement educators. We invite you to participate with us in a process of un/commoning pedagogy through embodied practice, dialogue, and reflection.
