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 youd find important: 1) Teaching in crises: What are the pedagogical implications of the pandemic? 2) Neoliberal academic environments: Strategies to cope and counter 3) Practicing epistemic disobedience: Decolonizing the classroom Please register through this link: https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZwrd-ugpj0pHNZzsKmYwGZAMgPUkRbpnDO O Do let me know your thoughts or comments on this. Looking forward to getting to know many new faces on 8 July.
