As a person who loves words as a teacher, a writer, and an activist for social change, I have a special relationship with them as power-tools. And since I studied the relationship between race, power and learning in my doctoral studies, I have become even more sensitive to words… word choice, word arrangement, and word tone or effect. It is a topic that I have been privately considering for some time.
In The Case of Critical Literacy (Ep10), I was able to explore words from a sociopolitical perspective; however, that conversation only got me started. Sure, we talked about words as in political rhetoric and words as relating to who has/does not have legitimacy. But, I left that conversation wanting more about the formation of words (especially in light of the political nature in which they are used). Needless to say, I have been on a hunt for more.
Now, with the admission that I have been on a pursuit to find a person who could talk more in depth about words, I was delighted when my brain routed me to Dasha Kelly Hamilton. Dasha is a prolific writer and speaker all because, in my opinion, she has a special relationship with words. It is her superpower and I am more than ecstatic that she decided to share her gifts with the ESH community.
