Associate Professor of Philosophy A. Todd Franklin has published a paper titled “Schoolin’: Critical Consciousness, Black Consciousness and the Pedagogies of Transformation,” in The International Journal of Learning, Volume 17, Issue 8, 2010.
Highlighting the educational virtues of critical race theory within the context of predominately white institutions, Franklin’s paper focuses intently on transformations of black consciousness and details the ways in which pedagogies that cultivate an understanding of such transformations not only have the potential to provide students with valuable lessons about the lived experience of being black, they also have the potential to transformatively influence both their consciousness of the nature of the social world and their personal sense of self.
