With race as its organizing theme, this TRiP series takes up the question of pedagogical possibility amidst such ever-encroaching surveillance when teaching about race (or being perceived as teaching about race incorrectly) comes with high stakes—stakes that are higher for some of us than for others. How might we think with our students about, with, inside of, and beyond the category of race amidst these conditions? We take as premise that regardless of the content of our respective courses and the extent to which racial frameworks relate to those temporal and cultural situations, that the classrooms and publics in which we teach are, themselves, deeply racialized and demand our thoughtful and continual engagement with this nexus of religion, race, and pedagogy.
