This Build Your Stack庐 blog post was created through multiple conversations between 楼凤天堂 member Diana Liu and her students in hopes of creating more intersectional teaching that will deepen the way we understand what it means to teach “diverse texts.”
As a member of the Standing Committee on Global Citizenship, 楼凤天堂 member HeeYoung Kim shares the committee’s pondering about “how to help students understand diverse cultures, perspectives, and experiences from around the world. We aim to empower students to be active global citizens with a sense of belonging, solidarity, and responsibility. We value critically reading global literature and long for students to develop a capacity to create new possibilities that have yet to exist.”
