Learning (and Leaving) the Comforts of Home: A Radical Pedagogy of Homeplace
Bibliographic record
Abstract
In her essay "Deconstructing the Experience of the Local: Toward a Radical Pedagogy of Place," Claudia Ruitenberg argues for education to take into account the environments in which one learns, asserting that "Where we learn becomes part of what we learn." 1 Building upon Ruitenberg's work, I argue for a shifting, polyvocal, radical pedagogy of homeplace, looking at how discourses of the "ideal" home and family contribute to the construction and maintenance of systems of oppression. 2 Though Ruitenberg's radical pedagogy of place opens up an important discussion about the spatialization of education, I contend that her call for nomadism and hospitality may take for granted certain elements of the "ideal" home and family, offering only a partial perspective on place-based education.Using the work of María Lugones to complement Ruitenberg, I argue that challenging systemic oppression requires a fluidity and multiplicity in our theories about teaching place, home, and community, as well as in our understanding of what it means to feel "at home" in an academic community, in a discipline, or in a classroom, as scholars, educators, and students.3

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
