Deep Dive Community: Relational Pedagogy 🗓

With Liz Knauer

Wednesdays, 12pm–1:15pm: February 26, March 5, March 12, March 26

RSVP by February 19!

 

In this deep dive we will explore some of the key aspects of relational pedagogy. As a pedagogical framework that draws on critical theory/critical pedagogy but also feminist and postmodern ideas of the person learning, this program will first of all seek to explore the experience of building relationships within this learning community and in the contexts in which we teach, work, and live.

The focus of our activity will be on creating ideas, prompts, activities, assignments, and approaches for our teaching practices and reflecting on the process of learning together, in order to bring our experiences as learners into greater alignment with our practices as educators. 

By the end of the deep dive, participants will have a small portfolio of teaching ideas and materials built from a relational pedagogy framework.

Meeting dates:

  • Session 1 (02/26): Let’s build a relational pedagogy!
  • Session 2 (03/05): What is post-human pedagogy?
  • Session 3 (03/12): What is “mattering” pedagogy?
  • Session 4 (03/26): Seeking relationships in context

Part time faculty qualify for a $300 stipend upon completing this Deep Dive.

Facilitated by Liz Knauer, who teaches in the Social Science and Cultural Studies department at Pratt. As an educational researcher, she is interested in issues of equity and justice in education, but really more broadly in the spiritual importance of spaces for inquiry and learning. The classes she currently teaches at Pratt focus on developing qualitative research skills and are titled Nomads and Settlers and Education and Society: Philosophy, Pedagogy, Praxis.
