Philosophy of Teaching
“Profound changes in the way we think and act must take place if we are to create a loving culture” (bell hooks, 2000, p. xxix). What if we expressed critical qualitative inquiry is/as love?
We might situate our classrooms along local axes of need and teach different ways of knowing through decolonizing epistemologies and projects of the critical imagination and ‘empathy and the imagination-intellect’ and acts and expressions of love. We might pause in the midst of hate to cook up something good, something nourishing, made with love, something to repair and sustain our souls. We might collectively reimagine the foundations of social research so that love might become ontology, epistemology, methodology, axiology, and pedagogy, too. We might then contribute to a better world by countering the changing tides of our historical present, by teaching methodological diversity as methodological justice, and by teaching critical qualitative inquiry is/as love.
