Abstract

In April 2015, the Freddie Gray protests/riots/uprisings in Baltimore, Maryland, sparked a conversation on the national scene and in classrooms across the country. In my classroom near Baltimore, these events became a test case on how to teach and be in a moment of crisis. Building on a bricolage of methodologies, I explore teaching Bonilla-Silva's (2014) work on color-blind racism in my “Sport and Media” class during the Freddy Gray riots/protests/uprisings. By using my observations, official communications/e-mails, ethnographic snapshots of my students’ writings, and observations during these events, I explore teaching through a crisis and learning lessons on teaching race and politics.
