An open conversation for students with bell hooks, Anna Czarnik-Neimeyer (assistant director of the Cassandra Voss Center, St. Norbert College), Lynnee Denise (Founder & Vision Director, WildSeed Cultural Group), and Stephanie Troutman (assistant professor of Leadership & Educational Studies; Affiliate Faculty, Women’s Studies, Appalachian State University). Hosted by Eugene Lang College The New School for Liberal Arts (http://www.newschool.edu/lang).

bell hooks (née Gloria Watkins) is among the leading public intellectuals of her generation. Her writings cover a broad range of topics including gender, race, teaching, and contemporary culture. This fall marks the 20th Anniversary of the publication of Teaching to Transgress: Education as a Practice of Freedom, Dr. hooks’ seminal book on educational practices. This weeklong residency is an opportunity for The New School community to directly engage with Dr. hooks and her commitment to education and learning as a place “where paradise can be created”.
