In this week’s episode of Wheel Talk, and the second installment of this story, we continue to examine and question the pedagogical value of using slurs in a classroom, and the moving boundaries of acceptance depending on the lived experience of Emory community members. We’re narrowing in on the events of this semester, including two professors this fall who used slurs for “pedagogical reasons.” Both rocked the law school and ensued protest and counter protest.
Don’t forget to check out the first part of our series “A Classroom Divided” where we broke down the historical usage of slurs at Emory’s Law School. This story corresponds with the cover story in the Hub, the Wheel’s recently-restored magazine.
