Teaching Philosophy

I write this teaching philosophy with not a little trepidation. Most teaching philosophies are structured as a journey from one place (a particular understanding of education or the role of faculty) to another, better and more humane place. I don't disagree with the idea of creating a more humane form of higher education. I think it is needed. My trepidation comes from the fact that my own thinking on education has remained oddly constant over the years, particularly but not exclusively in terms of its objectives. Higher education can accomplish many things. I hope the students who leave my classes know more about the subject, have built their competencies, and are more critically engaged. My aim, however, is not to improve the learning of students as individuals who might, then, becomes leaders in business, government, or the voluntary sector. My aim is to use the educational space I have to construct new systems of relationships that inherently and necessarily challenge the neoliberal and colonial order of late modern Canada. To be clear, I hope my students "succeed" in life, whatever that means for them. But our notions of success are often hopelessly compromised by the very politicaleconomic and social processes that most people in post-secondary education decry. Promoting student "success" in this framework strikes me as inherently problematic.

The key figures who influenced my thinking on education remain the great educators, activists, and scholars I first read as a student. They include Edward Thompson, Perry Anderson, Isaac Deutcher, Tariq Ali, and the recently deceased Mike Davis. "The Peculiarities of the English," Prisoners of the American Dream, and Considerations on Western Marxism remain vital texts. They point to an ideal of education that is intricately embedded in an already established and intensely politicized institutional framework. To be clear: the political character of higher education is part of the wider social formation and riven with internal conflicts. One can adopt different stances in response to it (e.g., Anderson and Thompson rarely agreed), but one cannot avoid it. In this regard, I reject the pedagogy of Edward Said and John Ralston Saul who see the academy as an almost utopian space of experimentation that stands outside political economy and social relations. The politics of education are complex, but its aim should not be to provide a respite from neoliberalism. Instead, it should seek to trouble and unmask the problems of the neoliberal order while simultaneously establishing new systems of relationships, values, ideals, and aspirations.

How can this be done? For Thompson, it involved reading domestic radical traditions as alternatives to the systems of inequality, marginalization, and violence that dominated society. For Ali, it involved intentional connections to society that mobilized opposition to the neoliberal state and its foreign policy. Davis considered progressive politics and their failures (such as postmodernism). Deutcher adopted some of this practice as well but married it to alternative modes of education (the teach in) and, in his time, anti-war activism. For Anderson, an understanding of the stagnation of progressive politics and its isolation in the academy was a particularly important matter to consider and, in my view, remains so. His wording is different, but his point is this: progressive academic politics that maintain no connection to popular struggles degenerates into virtue signalling.

My approach is structured by the twofold political-economic context of contemporary New Brunswick. On the one hand, we live and work in a post-TRC world actively addressing colonialism. On the other, we live and work within a political order of on-going neoliberal retrenchment in social services and the disempowerment progressive politics. This is married to a resurgent right-wing "populism" that poses a clear and present threat to anything resembling a democratic order. Our aim should not be to defend "actually existing" democracy, but to build a popular struggle that expands what Marx called "the realm of freedom." This involves asking students to be part of a system of educational relationships that is built on grounds other than established educational hierarchies. It involves a transparent relational pedagogy and a willingness to work in a more dialogic mode that supports student agency. It involves forms of instruction that encourage considerations of power and its operation in society, and which connects education to students own lived experiences. It involves seeing those lived experiences as valuable in their own right. And it involves an auto-critique that is something other than liberal identity politics. Instead, I ask my students to locate themselves within the specificity of our contemporary social formation and as part of an unfolding history that conditions -- but does not determine -- the future.

How does this work in practice? It is time consuming. In the first place, it involves knowing one's material but also making space for different voices and perspectives in the classroom. This most importantly includes Indigenous voices and perspectives. It involves practicing a relational pedagogy that makes extensive time for students. It involves contacting students who are having problems, working through solutions on an individual basis, and asking students to locate their problems not in personal characteristics but in social dynamics. It involves making space in courses for student contributions to it, refashioning classroom practices in response to feedback, relocating class spaces, and highlighting alternative process of authority, learning, and social relations. And it involves unmasking the power relations and contradictions of contemporary society while encouraging alternative conceptions of society, culture, and political-economy.

I look to meet these objectives through a series of educational practices that are defined in greater detail in a larger teaching portfolio and that are based around conversational modes of student empowerment. This includes adapting models of inclusive teaching, what is for me a partial embrace of "ungrading," and according space for students to determine the components of their own work in courses. I also look to relocate classes and consultation hours to physically accessible spaces, encourage student conversations with each other via discussion forums, and engage the ethics of learning and Indigenous Academic Integrity in all courses. Some of these developments are new to me; others represent longer-running pedagogical trajectories.

I will conclude by saying that I don't always recommend my pedagogy to others. Some faculty with whom I have spoken found it confusing and distrust its politicized nature. It takes considerable time and is grounded in uncomfortable conversations that don't point in easy directions. A key and often neglected element of this teaching philosophy involves listening and this can be challenging in itself. From what I can tell, my teaching philosophy fits poorly with most general pedagogical trajectories. It bears similarities to other progressive trajectories but also maintains important points of discussion and overt commitments to social change that problematize conceptions of individual "success." I am comfortable with that, as were the scholars and educators on whose work my idea are based.
