It is the school holidays and I am watching more television than usual. As I am a teacher, I cannot help but make connections between what I am watching and what I have seen before and, to think about how I could use these texts in the classroom.
I have caught a few episodes of Black-ish. It occurred to me as I watched this show that it should really be studied alongside some episodes of The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. Why? Well, both shows seek to engage with the intersections of race, class and identity.
Now, if only I could find space in the program to explore this further with one of my classes!
Once uPUN a time...
