This winter term, instead of asking students where are you from, we used the prompt where are you local? as an ice-breaker, inspired by Taiye Selasi’s TED talk, Don’t Ask Where I’m From, Ask Where I Am a Local in which she problematizes the notion of being from a place, and of home. We found that it opened up a rich discussion!
