YSJ, Academic Development Programme
Professional Development for Learning, Teaching and Research
For our first RIPPLE Reading Group of 2024, we will come together online to discuss compassionate pedagogies and whether it is too much to ask for a compassionate university in these neoliberal times.
To kickstart the discussion, we will consider a 2019 piece in the Australian Universities Review, titled: ‘Unveiling opportunities for hope: Is it too much to ask for a compassionate university?’ (Boyd & Grant, 2019).
If we have time, we will also delve into a 2023 article published by YSJ’s own Lorna Hamilton and Stephanie Petty, titled: ‘Compassionate pedagogy for neurodiversity in higher education: A conceptual analysis’ (Hamilton & Petty, 2023).
Please do join us, whether you have managed to do the reading in advance or not! All welcome; hot drinks encouraged.
RIPPLE (Research into Pedagogical Practice in Learning and Education) is co-convened by Emma Walker, Katherine Cross and Lucy Potter. If you haven’t come along before, please do join us online on 31 January and/or drop one of us an email to be added to the RIPPLE Team!
