Book 6, Ep. 1 | Slytherin Pedagogy

In this episode, we begin Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince by revisiting pedagogy! If you've enjoyed our past episodes about the professors at Hogwarts then you will love this episode digging into Horace Slughorn, Severus Snape, and (if you believe it) Albus Dumbledore! Tune in for a conversation based around the article “Collectors, Nightlights, and Allies, Oh My: White Mentors in the Academy,” by Dr. Martinez-Cola, an assistant professor of sociology at Morehouse College. Martinez-Cola's research largely focuses on the critical comparative study of race, class, and gender as it relates to culture, social movements, and comparative/historical sociology — which is all very helpful when trying to understand the way professors in this series are helpful, hurtful, or both to their students.And a heads up!
