Pedagogy in Process

Pedagogy in Process

Pedagogy in Process is an independent podcast by and for educators working at the intersections of social justice and the arts and humanities. This podcast seeks to create a space for educators to be in dialogue; for complicated, thorny questions with no easy answers; for honesty and vulnerability; for being really, really nerdy; for staring down impossible challenges but deciding to tackle them anyway; for working through it all together. This podcast will hold space for generative, messy, complex, challenging, always important conversations with fellow educators. We’ll share successes, stumbling blocks, creative interventions, and lessons learned through the process of building more inclusive, equitable, and collaborative learning environments. Ultimately, the goal is to make these insights, tools, and resources accessible to other teachers working through the same questions in a format that can meet them where they are. 20-30 minutes at a time, in the car, on the bus, on a run, wherever and whenever you might find a moment to connect. I hope you'll join us. Pedagogy in Process is hosted, edited, and produced by Nicolas Shannon Savard, PhD (they/them/theirs). drnssavard.com

How d...
