Please save the date for a faculty-led pedagogy workshop on January 11th, the Thursday before classes start.

"Cripping Pedagogy" will open with five quick tips: things you can do to transform your teaching in ways that make it more accessible to a range of different abilities, bodies, and learning styles. We take the term "cripping" from within disability studies and activist communities to signal our intention to shift the conversation and to recognize the knowledges and agency of disabled people themselves. In this workshop, presenters will share their tips with us and we'll all work together to transform our pedagogies in ways that are more mindful of the range of bodies and minds in the 21st century classroom at Fordham.

We'll have lots of time to talk in small groups about how these tips can be adapted for your classroom. And time for beer, wine, and informal conversation, too. Tips will be presented by:

Badr Albanna, Natural Sciences

Orit Avishai, Sociology & Anthropology

Carla Romney, Associate Dean for STEM Education

Rebecca Sanchez, English

Alessia Valfredini, Modern Languages

Instructional technologists will be on hand, too, to offer advice and consultation.

Agenda: 5 tips @ 5 minutes each; reflection; small group discussion; large group re-cap; happy hour!
