This forum will explore critical pedagogy as it applies to issues of student and teacher resistance, complemented by strategies for empowerment. Discussions will address instructor authority within informed critical resistance; issues of accessibility and inclusivity; leveraging the interplay of enjoyment and motivation; instructor resistance to student voices; and the political underpinnings to our disengagement with grammar. We’ll invite your discussions as we propose actionable ideas applicable to the writing classroom.
Friday, April 15 from 3:30 p.m. – 5:00 p.m., Curtin 368
