Abstract

The challenges that instructors of critical theory face today, particularly in global contexts, range from a public-health crisis, to a continued struggle for racial and economic justice, to the changing landscape of higher education. The solution we propose is twofold and involves decolonizing theory and making the classroom increasingly student centered.
