This paper provides an autoethnographic exploration of teaching law to Gen Z learners, by focussing on how the use of memes, pop culture, and innovative pedagogies which incorporate collaborative learning have bridged the generational gap within the author’s classrooms in a law school. The study draws from the author’s experiences as a Millennial teacher at an institution that favours discussions and critical thinking over rote learning, allowing her to explore teaching methods that are inclusive of the students’ learning preferences and attention patterns. The paper demonstrates how assigning readings that are relatable, using memes as interpretive tools, and setting assignments like 101 projects, that prioritise experiential learning have facilitated learning within the Gen Z classrooms, ensuring that complex legal formats become accessible and memorable through participative formats. The author also expounds how today’s learners value dialogue and clarity over conventional forms of teaching by delivering lectures. The study also presents how these digital natives interact with the constant access to information which shapes not only their learning, but also their sociopolitical engagement. Ultimately, the paper makes the case for abandoning the myth that Gen Z does not want to learn. Instead, the author proposes that creativity, empathy and reflexivity on the part of the teachers aids in creating a collaborative learning space grounded in trust and shared curiosity, ensuring learning without prejudice.
