Appreciate everything about this post—and also reminding myself, more and more, that one of the many privileges of teaching is the "disconnect" the classroom affords in the form of direct experience. Immediacy and proximity are increasingly valuable, and I don't want to take for granted at all what the classroom can be in this moment given that.
A wonderful post Trevor. Thanks for this. Your thoughts on teaching align very closely to my own (creating space for students to have authentic, meaningful experiences in the classroom) but I hadn't considered it from a "Spectacle" perspective before. Subscribed!
What an amazing--and much needed--piece. i've been including in one of my courses (theories of the body; I'm a medical anthropologist) more about selfies and the digital self as self (maybe). I'm learning alongside the students and they struggle with spectacle because it's all they have ever known. The illustration you include is wonderful!

Love this post!
I agree that the classroom can (should?) be place of immediacy and proximity perhaps as the most important learning goal!
