Workshop: Creating a Culture of Abundance in the Classroom
- Location: Claire T. Carney Library, Room 314
- Contact: Office of Faculty Development
- Description: Presented by: Libby Jones, Professor of English, Berea College
Wednesday, October 22, 2014, 12:00 – 1:00 pm
Library 314
Lunch will be served; all faculty are welcome.
Abstract: Given today’s very real challenges in learning and in teaching, the classroom may easily become a place of negativity and scarcity. In contrast, grounding the classroom in a culture of abundance can benefit both students and teachers. Affirmation is necessary for good teaching, necessary in spite of – or perhaps because of -- our students' needs, our complicities, our trials, and our sometimes apparently fruitless toil. I will present a theoretical base for the concept and value of abundance, then share some specific practices I’ve developed for myself and my students that encourage a classroom community of replenishment rather than depletion. A bibliography of readings and resources will be provided.
PRESENTER BIO: Libby Falk Jones teaches creative, critical, and professional writing at Berea College, where she is Chester D. Tripp Chair in Humanities and Professor of English. The Founding Director of Berea’s Center for Learning, Teaching, Communication, and Research (now the Center for Transformative Learning), Jones has published and spoken widely on teaching, faculty development, writing centers, and the teaching of writing. She has taught courses in autobiography, contemplative writing, nature writing and photography, art of the book, literacies, and vocation. Her poems and creative nonfiction have appeared in regional and national journals and anthologies; a chapbook of her poems, Above the Eastern Treetops, Blue, was published in 2010 by Finishing Line Press. Jones is a landscape photographer whose work is part of Art as Healing projects at several local hospitals. She has chaired the Assembly for Expanded Perspectives on Learning and is a member of the Association for Contemplative Mind in Higher Education. Co-editor of Feminism, Utopia, and Narrative, she has taught courses on utopias and intentional communities.
