Bijoun Eric Jordan is a high school English teacher just finishing his 19th year. His greatest professional pleasure is stoking enjoyment of words and ideas — and after school, making students world travelers. Bijoun studied education at New York University, followed by a gap year abroad, then a master's in English literature at Hunter College. His essay critiquing the right-wing's recent efforts to undermine racial justice initiatives through the "boogeyman" of critical race theory appears in the new collection Illmatic Consequences: The Clapback to Opponents of "Critical Race Theory," inspired by rapper Nas's debut album Illmatic. A self-professed nerd and staunch advocate of the Oxford comma, Jordan is also a consummate hip hop head and a recovering lyricism addict whose other passions include politics, culture, gaming, and creativity. He lives and loves in Brooklyn with his wife, daughter, and son.
