Teaching in the Trump era calls for a reevaluation of the seductions of neoliberalism and a reinvigoration of critical pedagogies that necessarily expose and challenge structural oppression. I address ways Women's, Gender, Sexuality and Studies and other interdisciplines have furthered the neoliberal corporatization of higher education: (1) the institutionalization of diversity talk; (2) exhaustive attention to meaningless (but allegedly quantifiable) student learning objectives; and (3) undo concern with compliance rather than safety and accommodation. I offer a pedagogical framework I call 'It's in the Room': (1) implementing access syllabus statements and discussions; (2) sharing mistakes or revelations that caused me to change my teaching and/or thinking; and (3) encouraging student sharing of lived experiences. By collectively recognizing that it is 'in the room', the true diversity, differences, inequalities, and privileges attached to our lives are offered for examination in ways that can be deeply transformative for students and instructors.
