[PeDAGoG] Invitation to virtual interactive session | 8 July, 2pm GMT

[Schöneberg, Julia, Dr.]

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:


  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:

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
