- **Event Description**: Please join the UCR School of Education for an upcoming book talk with Dr. Justin A. Coles! (Virtual and In-person options available)About this EventBreathable Classrooms: Black Love as Pedagogy and the Aesthetic Work of Resisting AntiBlacknessIn this talk, Dr. Justin Coles draws on a decade of collaborative work with Black youth to illuminate how their artistic and cultural practices offer powerful pedagogical tools for resisting antiblackness and shaping more just educational spaces. Centering Black love as a pedagogical stance, and through the sharing of aesthetic artifacts, he highlights concrete moves of perception and sensing that educators can take to cultivate classrooms that are relationally grounded and breathable. Attendees will engage in aesthetic reflection and creation to explore how pedagogical practices grounded in Black youth aesthetics can transform how we read, teach, witness, and create alongside students. Through stories, visuals, and interactive engagement, participants will examine what it means to interpret Black life through a reparative love aesthetic. This talk invites you to both witness and actively participate in imagining and building educational futures guided by Black love. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________Justin A.
