Joshua Wiggins

I am a social studies teacher at Walter Payton College Prep HS in Chicago, IL and have been teaching for 6 years. I have taught high school Africana Studies, US History, Civics, and Advanced Placement US Government and Politics. I am fascinated by social change, the human relationship with time and nature, and cognitive science. Lately, I have been compelled by Grace Lee Boggs' quote, "transform yourself to transform the world." Her guidance has helped me nurture a healthier relationship with myself, which is my attempt to make it easier for me to root out the many oppressions I have internalized. I enjoy reading, going to the park with my 20-month-old baby boy, and eating good food around the city with my partner!
