Abstract

In this article, two university professors explore what it means to teach anti-colonial and anti-racist anthropological theory and ethnographic methods to graduate students at an American Land Grant University and predominantly white institution (PWI) within environmental scientific research and policy graduate programs. The goal of this article is to show how critically informed anthropological pedagogies can sustain diverse educational spaces in times of crisis that foster empathy, ethical transgression, and social transformation.
