This workshop explores critical transnational pedagogy to address the immigrant teacher's dilemma on occupied land. Synthesizing Freirean dialogue and Shiva’s ecological philosophy, I interrogate global capitalism and curricular monocultures. Through collaborative analysis of counter-mapping artifacts, this session equips educators to cultivate student agency, honor linguistic diversity, and foster human-earth interconnectedness.
In this interactive session, participants will examine how generative AI represents Michigan places, communities, and language practices. Through a place-based AI audit and writing activity, participants will develop classroom strategies that can help students critically read technology, challenge deficit narratives, and write toward more just representations of their homeplaces.
