A generation of scholar-teacher-activists have moved beyond collaborating in theory to embodying, engaging in, and sharing how they practice their pedagogy. Isis Nusair and Barbara L. Shaw edit essays that link feminist, queer, anti-racist, decolonial, and disability theory and practice while using intersectional, transnational, and interdisciplinary approaches to explore how the personal remains political. The contributors describe ways of building communities within and beyond academic programs and examine what it means to engage in community-building work and action across institutional boundaries. In Part One, the essayists focus on the centrality of community building and reinterpreting bodies of knowledge with students, staff, faculty, and community members. Part Two looks at bringing transnational approaches to feminist collaborations in ways that challenge the classroom’s central place in knowledge production. Part Three explores organic collaborations in and beyond the classroom. A practical and much-needed resource, Pedagogies of Interconnectedness offers cutting-edge ideas for collaboration in pedagogy, education justice, community-based activities, and liberatory worldmaking.
