Today I successfully defended my dssertation: “‘Telling Another Kind of Story’: Enduring Tensions in Preparing Secondary English Language Arts Teachers for Antiracist Pedagogical Change at the Curricular, Instructional, and Personal Levels.” Thank you to everyone who attended my dissertation defense. Thank you for showing up, for supporting me, and for sending me flowers in many forms. Today was an incredibly special (and emotional) day for me. Thank you for cheering me on.
