The Archaeology of Self: A Conversation with Cyndi Suarez and Yolanda Sealey-Ruiz (Winter 2023)

“[L]ove is a literacy, like everything else. And we especially need this literacy in schools—because part of the crisis is that the children are not being loved the way teachers would love their biological or foster children. And I’ve seen love manifest through curriculum—a curriculum that invites kids to learn about their own identity, to learn about from whence they came, to (as the writer Robin Kelley would say) “freedom dream” a world for themselves. That is a curriculum of love, a curriculum of human flourishing.”
