Abstract
ABSTRACT This poem was written as a final project for the author’s Critical Perspectives in Education course at George Mason University in Fall of 2021. In addition to having students read critical works, Dr. Dodman, the professor, encouraged creative reflections and non-traditional reading responses. The author also engaged in an Extended Communal Engagement (ECE) group with two peers to discuss the readings and make real-world connections. This poem is the author’s final project in which she reflects on her readings and experiences with critical pedagogies. It was her hope that the poem would not only fulfill the course requirements but also be shared with a wider community of critical scholars, thus acting as praxis—practice and action. The poem is set in the context of the post-vaccination time of the COVID-19 global pandemic, in which the course was still taught online, but most businesses had reopened.
