Come delight in Ross Gay’s Book of Delights! In this 90-minute session, we’ll read together and discuss excerpts from Gay’s 2019 collection of mini-essays on daily experiences, encounters, or interactions that bring him delight and joy. We’ll then consider the implications for our work as educators. How can we create more (or more intentional) space for delight and joy in our work with students? In our work with each other? And if Gay is right to assert that the act of “sharing what we love” is an “ethics,” how might we live up to the charge?
