In our relationships it’s not too uncommon to borrow a
t-shirt, some socks or a warm hat from a lover… but what about entirely
switching outfits? This entertaining and thought provoking
series by Canadian photographer Hana Pesut does just that, encouraging
couples to completely exchange their clothing with each other. The
resulting diptychs are sometimes funny, while also having the effect of
making one re-analyze both their views on fashion and on sexual
identity.

What's this blog about?
I teach several courses under the broad topic of "Multicultural Education," prioritizing social justice issues of access, power/privilege, & narrowing the academic achievement gap. I am a person of color and I almost always have a white co-teacher. We include topics, such as: racism, sexism, heterosexism, ableism, ethnocentrism, deculturalization, transforming curriculum, etc. This is a place where I post information that we teach; lesson plans for activities; and resources we use and/or which are shared with me by my adult students.
