The emergency of the COVID-19 pandemic disrupted people’s safety and security, globally. Moreover, the inequities historically highlighted by the Black Lives Matter (BLM) social movement have become exorbitantly apparent. The divide between the haves and the have nots has accelerated during the pandemic. This evident problem of our time spans social, economic, cultural, and political realms. Ideas presented in this course (LHA3040) have been categorized t o highlight educational issues faced by black students during COVID-19 in a way that acknowledges what the education system can and cannot accomplish. The recurrent marginalization of black students is plainly untenable. For instance, there are “higher dropout rates, the curricular absence of cultures, religions, and historical contributions of visible minorities, discriminatory disciplinary practices, and underrepresentation of minorities in school staff”, teachers, and administration (George, Maier, & Robson, 2020, p. 1 59 ). James (2020) highlights “opportunity hoarding” to articulate the current magnification of inequities where privileged students reap even more rewards due to COVID-19 (p.1). Current changes in the education system are causing many students to be left behind (United Nations, 2020).

Radical Teacher
As a Black literary scholar working and living at the intersection of the urgent matters of the COVID-19 pandemic and national racial unrest, I felt a sense of despondency and disillusionment about the kind of work I could and should be doing and what its impact would be. Racial fatigue weighed heavily on my mind and spirit. I questioned, how does literature help us to better understand the concerns of our moment and imagine a more equitable future? What does ethical and engaged pedagogy look like in this moment? “Breath-taking Pedagogy” examines my concerns and anxieties while navigating these coinciding threats to Black breath and the ways this experience informed a radical shift in my approach to teaching and public scholarship. Specifically, I detail how I have tried to reconcile my role and contribution through community engaged scholarship that demonstrates the transformative potential of literature and through an ethical teaching practice that privileges equity, empathy, and ...

As two Black women teacher educators who contend with the neoliberal expectations of the westernized academy and the material realities of preparing teachers for P-12 contexts, we face the pressures of performing productivity while attempting to ameliorate injustices for multiply-marginalized students (e.g., Black students with disabilities facing economic hardships). Working within predominantly white spaces, we were already socially and intellectually isolated prior to the 2020 pandemic. In this collaborative essay, we articulate how COVID-19 exasperated existing educational and social inequities, yet served as a portal to collective sense-making of our heightened intersectional consciousness, sense of duty to community, and enactments of humanizing pedagogy.

Learning Cultural Literacy through Creative Practices in Schools
As implementation of the CLLP was challenged by the COVID-19 pandemic, the DIALLS project included in the program an additional lesson in which children reflected on its impact on their social environment. In this chapter, the authors analyze how the children’s artifacts express their understanding of the COVID-19 situation, including themes such as care and protection. The chapter focuses on how the students address empathy, tolerance, and inclusiveness under pandemic conditions. It starts by contextualizing the artifacts with international COVID-19 imagery and nationally similar or differing COVID-19 circumstances. Then, it analyzes the artifacts and their textual narratives.
