17th Annual Northwest Teaching for Social Justice Conference

Using Clint Smith’s poem, “No More Elegies,” participants will discover how to provide poetic pauses, to help students find new ways to look at the world: to see, acknowledge, and take refuge in the moments of connection and celebration. As much as it is a habit to find and interrogate the inequalities and the injustices that we see in the world, it is also a habit to notice and take delight in what brings us joy.
