A little more on taughtness
“The idea is to remove hierarchy rather than deliberately behave as if there is no hierarchy. That is solid bad faith. There will never be a total absence of hierarchy. And that’s what’s fun in the classroom, it’s not that you’re being ethical, it’s that the ethical might flower.”
- Spivak in Mark Sanders’ Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak: Live Theory, p. 120
OMG. Spivak on pedagogy. I have heard from a multiplicity of different sources that certainly no absence of hierarchy in Spivak’s seminars. Most notorious prof in New York City.
