The Margaret Fuller Society announces a teaching award to support racial justice:
Teaching to Racial Justice with Margaret Fuller
The MFS Committee for Racial Justice welcomes entries that:
- outline a syllabus including writing by Margaret Fuller and explain how Fuller’s work fits into the semester’s aims, including support of racial justice
- describe a classroom activity or series of exercises that use Fuller’s writing to teach to issues of racial justice
- detail a paper assignment that focuses on racial justice and engages Fuller’s writing
- plan a community project that addresses racial justice and Fuller’s writing
- propose a nontraditional pedagogical approach to racial justice issues through Fuller’s writing
Submissions should be limited to one page.
We especially encourage entries that engage critical race theory. We welcome submissions from both members and non-members of the Society and urge graduate students to consider submitting.
The winning submission, as judged by the Society’s Committee for Racial Justice, will receive a small monetary award and be featured in Conversations, the publication of the Margaret Fuller Society. The award will be presented at an online gathering in late summer.
