In conversation with Dontavius Williams {Pandemic Pedagogy convo 40} Imagining a New 'We'

In conversation with Dontavius Williams {Pandemic Pedagogy convo 40} Imagining a New 'We'

How do we teach history in this moment? Chronicles of Adam creator Dontavius Williams talks about what it means to teach history using tools that empower and invite inclusivity. What does it mean to put students in the driver's seat and listen to the stories they need to navigate - and be seen in - this world together?

In this Pandemic Pedagogy conversation, Dontavius Williams and I talk about the "we" more than the "me" and the importance of confronting difficult histories and embedded racisms. We talk about classroom teaching, but also about debates about monuments and memorials and the reenacting Dontavius does in Chronicles of Adam. 

Filmed at the end of August, Dontavius provides a powerful voice to how central our work as history educators is when we're trying to make change for the people we teach. 

The Chronicles of Adam is a first person Historical Interpretation of a slave by the name of Adam that blends historical research, in situ context, and performance art together in a powerful learning experience that is really a sort of ministry to the legacy of those who build America while enslaved.

Source Saturday: Jennifer Shaw and Jewish Canadian Women during World War Two

In this video, Jennifer talks about how she used oral histories to refute the dominant historiographical notion that Jews did not participate in homefront war activities. In fact, Jewish women’s participation in home front activities carried a much different meaning and weight than it did for other women due to their Jewishness. In our conversation, she showed quotes from her oral history participants and paired them with photographs with little information attached, to demonstrate how the histories of Jewish women’s experiences during the war can be lost without speaking to the women themselves.

More about Jen: Jennifer Shaw is a PhD candidate in the Department of Women’s Studies and Feminist Research at the University of Western Ontario.

Jamie Michaels' graphic novel "Christie Pits" tells a fictionalized story about the real anti-Semitic race riot in Toronto in 1933 - the largest race riot in Canada's history. In our conversation, Jamie talks about the ways he worked with artist Doug Fedrau in bringing this work to life and and why understanding this history is more important than ever.

Audio sneak peek: Transforming the Canadian History Classroom: Imagining a New 'We'

Audio sneak peek: Transforming the Canadian History Classroom: Imagining a New 'We'

Enjoy this reading from the introduction of Transforming the Canadian History Classroom: Imagining a New 'We' by Dr. Samantha Cutrara.

We are all our history. Yet in Canadian classrooms, students are often left questioning how they can study a past that does not reflect their present. Despite curricular revisions, the mainstream narrative that shapes the way we teach students about the Canadian nation can be divisive, separating “us” from “them.”

Responding to the evolving demographics of an ethnically and culturally heterogeneous population, Transforming the Canadian History Classroom is a call for a radically innovative approach that instead places students – the stories they carry and the histories they want to be part of – at the centre of history education. Samantha Cutrara offers a practical and theoretical guide to creating a learning environment in which students can investigate the historical narratives that infuse their lives and imagine a future that makes room for their diverse identities. She explores how teaching practices and institutional contexts can support ideas of connection, complexity, and care in order to engender meaningful learning and foster a student-centric history education.

Drawing on student and teacher interviews and case studies in schools, this progressive study demonstrates how developing a sense of national identity in all Canadian youth can be grounded in the praxis and pedagogies of today’s history education.

Both in-training and practicing teachers in history and social studies education need this book to inform their work, as do students and scholars of Canadian studies and critical pedagogy.

Her PhD work traced how Black rappers in the era of mass incarceration constructed complex ethnographies of urban spaces, transformed dispositions of power, and unmasked the modes and mechanisms of a persistent and haunting coloniality in the afterlives of American slavery. Her current postdoctoral research will explore Toronto Rap music’s relationship to commerce, anti-Black market segmentation and the availability of state revenue streams and marketplace exposure – and in doing do highlight a social history of power relations between Toronto Hip Hop practitioners, creative marketplace elites, and state-actors. Currently, Dr. D’Amico-Cuthbert also serves on the Education Committee of the Universal Museum of Hip Hop – which is dedicated to the preservation of Hip Hop’s history, and is set to open in 2024 in the Bronx, New York City.
