Dear friends,
Encouraged by Brandon and Ashish’s call for
more interactive collaboration, I would like to propose a
virtual session and hope that you’d be interested to
participate.
At this point, probably all of us are
already quite “Zoom”-fatigued. Nevertheless, in some spaces I
have also found comfort and new energy through the distant but
immediate community with like-minded, in what feels like a
detached and rather surreal socially distant situation.
I hope that with PeDAGoG we can also create
such mutually supportive community, and while I appreciate the
resources and interventions shared via the list, I sometimes
wish I could put a face to a name.
In that spirit, I would like to invite
everyone to join me for an
interactive workshop/exchange session on 8 July,
2pm GMT.
In thematical break-away rooms we will be
discussing in smaller groups, giving everyone the chance to
talk, share and getting to know each other, before coming back
to a final plenary discussion.
In terms of thematical foci I have drawn
the following from the collaborative board. Of course, these
are proposals, please feel free to send me your suggestions of
what you’d find important:
- Teaching in
crises: What are the pedagogical implications of the
pandemic?
- Neoliberal
academic environments: Strategies to cope and counter
- Practicing
epistemic disobedience: Decolonizing the classroom

Do
let me know your thoughts or comments on this.
Looking
forward to getting to know many new faces on 8 July.
Warm
wishes,
Julia
