She models how to reactivate Toni Cade Bambara, June Jordan, Audre Lorde, and Adrienne Rich as our teachers in a moment where an in-depth understanding of their pedagogical choices can impact how we teach today.” -- Alexis Pauline Gumbs, author of * Survival Is a Promise: The Eternal Life of Audre Lorde * “Danica Savonick traces the history of how the SEEK program at the City University of New York brought together a set of activist-teacher-poets whose intersecting careers were decisively shaped by the experience of teaching writing courses to working-class students of color during an era of open admissions and student revolt. The fascinating story Savonick tells reanimates how these teachers developed their core pedagogical principles during an extraordinarily utopian, generative, and successful moment in higher education. Open Admissions makes a significant contribution to scholarship and public conversations about higher education and the cost of college today.” -- Rachel Sagner Buurma and Laura Heffernan, authors of * Teaching Archive: A New History for Literary Study * “Danica Savonick outlines how the open admissions period at City University of New York made an important impact on university education and provided a crucial template for the next moves in educational liberation.
