About this Event
35 East 12th Street, Holland, MI 49423-3605
As a teacher-scholar who identifies as Christian, theorizing about how and why I have embraced the call of “seed planter” means placing my calling within a blend of historical, social, and spiritual contexts. How did I, as a black woman, recognize my calling as seed planter? What method is the most appropriate way to approach my understanding of my “call” that bridges faith, personal background, and historical contexts? As a scholar of African American literature, I chose to frame my discussion in Sankofa, which is generally familiar to many African Americans as the process of fetching knowledge or wisdom from the past to use in the present or to influence the present. Using “seed planter” as a trope for my calling and Sankofa as my methodology, I will share what informs and shapes my calling as educator, scholar, and servant.
