17th Annual Northwest Teaching for Social Justice Conference

Climate change impacts everyone unequally. Despite efforts in mitigation and adaptation, frontline communities bear the brunt. To achieve real change, we advocate a just transition grounded in deep democracy. This workshop explores creating learning games to foster critical thinking on systemic transportation disparities. Participants will engage in co-creation, playing, and feedback to explore the game’s potential in informal and formal education, promoting a practical understanding of a just transition.

In this workshop, participants will examine excerpts from Love Is a Revolution by Renée Watson. We will explore the intersectionality within self love, social expectations, and cultural values. This workshop includes a mixture of reading analysis, written reflection, and small group discussion. Participants will leave having examined the building blocks and barriers to self love.
