Fear & Power: Learner & Professor (L, E, A, S, CRTP, ACUE)

Thursday, January 11
1 pm - 1:50 pm
Fear & Power: Learner & Professor (L, E, A, S, CRTP, ACUE)
Panel Discussion
As professors, we have been exploring ways that we can create effective relationships with all students to facilitate their learning. Reflecting on our social positions in the college, culture and community has been a necessary part of trying to connect with students from different social positions. This is a daunting experience which moves us beyond our comfort zones of teaching strategies and places us in vulnerable situations where we confront our fears. This panel of professors - Ayesha Keller, Brian Curtis, Gracie King, and Yvonne Simerman - will describe what we are learning about ourselves and students, and what we hope to gain from this ongoing exploration. Audience questions and participation will be encouraged both during the panel discussion and afterwards where all will be given an opportunity to share their own strategies for alleviating both student fear and their own.
Panelists: Ayesha Keller, Brian Curtis, Gracie King, and Yvonne Simerman
