This mentoring event is a collaborative conversation in which we think about transforming pedagogies and what we are transforming pedagogies towards as an anthropological community. Whether a student or a practiced educator within academia or beyond, the consideration of pedagogies is a practical and conceptual exercise we all engage in no matter our experience with teaching. These learning spaces should not be divorced from everyday life, but deeply situated in our community commitments. In this discussion, we center transformation and believe that it has to take place, although we do not wish to define what that transformation should look like in advance. This event aligns with the efforts of the Association for the Anthropology of Policy’s anti-racism working group and supports our responsibility to advance academic justice and equitable representation in educational practices. Questions that precipitate and motivate this event: - What do multi-media and multi-sensorial pedagogies look like and allow? - What is the responsibility of education to teach knowledge or to create spaces for learning? How does the purpose of education relate to pedagogical practices in the classroom and beyond? - Does collaboration necessitate homogenization? How do you build a pedagogy that embraces openness and collaboration across/with difference? - What does/could it mean to have a common “language” in order to learn together? Potential goals for the conversation: - We endeavor this conversation to be an opportunity for cross mentoring. - We are interested in delving into the ways pedagogies create space for reflective, collaborative work that is open to multiplicity (of learning styles, of accessibility, of positioning ourselves, of critically engaging with/in our situated communities, of expressing ourselves). - We encourage thinking deeply about the methods and challenges of transforming and the implications of our pedagogical practice as anthropologists working in and outside of the university. - Contributions to building resources for: (1) inclusive curriculum and citational justice via resources and concepts; (2) inclusive andragogical/pedagogical practice in the classroom; (3) equitable and accountable evaluation; (4) classroom language and intersectionality. All are welcome and encouraged to participate in this mentoring event. We envision this as the start of a conversation about transforming pedagogies in anthropology. The notes from this event will be compiled into resources available to this group with the opportunity for wider circulation.
