Transformative Pedagogy in Times of Crisis

How will we teach in the post or ongoing Covid-19 era? It seems a simple, perhaps mundane question, but we believe it merits serious discussion—not merely from a technological or technical perspective—but as a profound political, pedagogical and perhaps even spiritual/existential problem and opportunity. Managing and responding to Covid-19 on college campuses represents one of the biggest disruptions in  higher education for faculty, students and staff in the long history of higher education.  Faculty will require new  skills and practices to navigate this critical juncture.  For us, this moment underscores the importance of spaces in which we can collectively discuss, share and think through how to best teach in, to, and from such a unique moment.  The hope is that we can turn this disorienting time into one of embodied and transformative pedagogy—for faculty, students and community alike.
