Embodied Teaching and Situated Knowledge: A Pedagogy Roundtable

In this first event of the Embodiment as Knowledge Translation series, Green College Leading Scholars discuss how embodiment, care, positionality and relationality are valued in their respective disciplines and enacted in their pedagogical approaches.

Organized by Green College Leading Scholars, this series invites perspectives on how to locate, understand, experience, enact and care for embodiment. How is the body activated as source and repository of knowledge? Where do we find generative inquiry into the affective and social dimensions of producing and exchanging knowledge? This series of lectures and roundtables explores the performance of care; relational accountability; and the emotional labour involved in archival work, storytelling, translation, healthcare, creative practices and teaching.

Conveners: Abdul-Fatawu Abdulai, Nursing; Sara Ann Knutson, History; Jillian Lerner, Art History, Visual Art and Theory; Jasmin Ma, Kinesiology; and Mila Zuo, Theatre and Film
