Being and inviting full selves into academia is about marginalized and minoritized academics, teachers, and students investing in marginalized academics, teachers, and students. This autoethnographic and qualitative interview-based research starts to re-/co-author a new kind of academia; an academia based on care and consent which uplifts instead of tears down, and which centers crip, feminist, and queer justice. / Doctor of Philosophy / In this work, I discuss the possibilities that are opened by bringing your whole self into the institution of academia as a student, teacher, and/or researcher. A Pedagogy of the Full Self is about creating a new scholastic arena where those who face oppression are welcomed wholeheartedly as though they always belonged. I discuss how identities of gender, ethnicity, race, class, and dis/ability can impact student learning, faculty teaching, and researchers developing new information and I emphasize the role of clear communication in the process of developing new ways to learn, create, and share knowledge.
