Description: OFD Workshop: Contemplative Pedagogy: Techniques and Strategies
Wednesday, March 2, 2022
12:00 p.m., LIB 213
Facilitator: Professor Justine Dunlap, UMass Law and OFD Spring 2022 Faculty Fellow
Contemplative pedagogy practices include mindfulness, contemplative reading and deep listening, contemplative writing, contemplative movement, and compassionate focus towards oneself and others. Exploring such practices can help foster connection among faculty and students as these practices are discussed and implemented and increase effective and compassionate focus on inclusivity and equity in the classroom. This workshop will look at some contemplative pedagogy exercises. Time will be allocated during the workshop to encourage attendees to adapt these exercises for their own disciplines and classes. Workshop attendees will then share in small groups with others their initial modifications and next steps to implementing the exercises.
To register, please contact Ellen Mandly at emandly@umassd.edu and declare your modality preference (in-person or virtual). Lunch will be provided for in-person participants.
