Webinar: Teaching Across Difference in Times of Trauma
October 22, 2024 @ 1:00 pm - 2:00 pm CDT
Hosted by The American Academy of Religion.
Panelists: Najeeba Syeed, El-Hibri Endowed Chair and Executive Director of Interfaith Studies, Augsburg University and Rachel Mikva, the Herman E. Schaalman Professor in Jewish Studies and Senior Faculty Fellow of the Interreligious Institute at Chicago Theological Seminary.
Professors Mikva and Syeed will share stories about their teaching experiences across religious, ideological, and world view differences. Both have worked in diverse classroom settings and with a wide range of students. They will explore pedagogies that co-create spaces of exploration and engagement in high conflict contexts. We will spend time in the seminar developing tools for your own context as an instructor and offer reflections and problem-solving opportunities for specific issues you may be dealing with in your classroom and diverse co-curricular settings.
