LC Session 2: Teaching with Embodied Knowledge (for Grad Students)

CTLgrads Learning Community: Teaching with Embodied Knowledge: Objects, Movement, and Philosophy of Education (Session 2) – for graduate students

This two-part Learning Community is an introduction to methods of teaching that foreground embodied knowledge and objects, with show-and-tell-like components. It models a range of practices by centering activities and discussion around objects brought into the classroom, asking also what qualifies as an “object.” More broadly, it asks questions regarding the philosophy of education: Why does embodied education matter? What drives students’ and instructors’ motivations for doing this work? How might one do theory, and theorize doing?

This two-part Learning Community will be held in person and will be co-facilitated by Emily FitzGerald and Y. L. Lucy Wang, Senior Lead Teaching Fellows at the Center for Teaching and Learning. Participants are strongly encouraged to register for and attend both sessions of this LC and will be asked to complete brief online, asynchronous activities to supplement discussions in each session that can be accessed here: https://courseworks2.columbia.edu/enroll/Y9YXPR. Registration for Session 1 on February 28th, 4:10-5:25pm, is available here. Registration for this event will close at 11:55pm on Sunday, March 6th. For same-day registration, please email CTLgrads@columbia.edu.

Each session of this LC counts as a Pedagogy Workshop for the Teaching Development Program (TDP). See the TDP FAQs for more information about obtaining credit for this and other graduate student-led events through the CTL.
