Today on episode number 625 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast, Teaching Solidarity with Mahleny Schueller. Produced by Innovate Learning, Maximizing Human Potential. Welcome to this episode of Teaching in Higher Ed. I'm Bonnie Stahoviak and this is the space where we explore the art and science of being more effective at facilitating learning. We also share ways to improve our productivity approaches so we can have more peace in our lives and be even more present for our students.

In today's episode, I'm joined by Mahlani. Johar Schuller, professor of English at the University of Florida and author of Teaching Solidarity. In our conversation we explore what she calls critical race reading, a practice that starts at empathy but moves beyond it to help learners examine their own positionality within systems of power and inequity. Molany shares how today's political climate is reshaping what happens in classrooms and why discomfort can be such an essential part of meaningful learning. Molany Schuller, welcome to Teaching in Higher Ed.
