Hi all, I wrote a blog post for Teacher-Scholar-Activist about Pedagogue. If you want, give it a read. I talk more about the purpose behind the podcast.
Here's an excerpt: "Most of my favorite conversations happen inside the classroom with students. The classroom is where local communities happen; where people come together and diverse perspectives are heard, where we listen to one another and grow together....there's also another space I find extremely generative and transformational -- and that's when we come together as teachers and colleagues to talk about teaching. You know, when we sit around the same table and ask questions: what are you doing in class? what's working? what's not working? what's it like teaching this type of writing task or engaging with that type of reading? how are students responding? how are you being an advocate for students and their labor? Pedagogue has the potential to make these localized table conversations larger, which can hopefully serve as a resource for teachers." Thanks for reading, -S Hi everyone, as I've mentioned in previous posts, I want this blog space to be an additional resource for teachers and scholars as well as a space for more conversation to exist. So after each episode, during the in-between weeks, I'm going to post resources that were mentioned in previous episodes. Contributors often mention different texts/materials they use in the classroom, or that has informed their own teaching and writing. My hope is these posts will be accessible and will help bring more attention to these resources.
I had the good fortune to talk with Mike Rose for Episode 1 and Episode 2. Here are some of the resources mentioned during our conversations: 2015 Kenyon Review interview with Mike Rose Lives on the Boundary: The Struggles and Achievements of America's Educationally Underprepared by Mike Rose Rhetorical Listening: Identification, Gender, Whiteness by Krista Ratcliffe Critical Strategies for Academic Thinking and Writing by Mike Rose and Malcolm Kiniry Of Human Potential: An Essay in the Philosophy of Education by Israel Scheffler I hope this helps, -S Hi all, Episode 3 will be released this Friday, 06/21. We have a wonderful guest joining us. Stephanie Vie! Stephanie is someone I really look up to, someone who is an advocate for graduate students and junior faculty and their work/labor. In Episode 3, we talk about social media in the writing classroom, how social media can be used for building community, we talk about her research on how students perceive social media working with writing, we discuss privacy, surveillance and ethics, mentoring teachers and supporting writing initiatives in programs and departments.
Here's an excerpt from our conversation about using social media in the writing classroom: "I've realized that as I've done more and more with social media in my teaching that when you incorporate it, you're opening up avenues for really wonderful, magical things to happen, and you're opening up these possibilities for ethical challenges that you need to think through ahead of time." Thanks for listening and sharing, -S In this episode, Mike Rose talks about valuing interdisciplinary knowledge in the classroom, he shares how he responds to student writing, he talks about what he’s reading, and his tentative title to his new book.
One of the good things about this blog is a chance for me to let you know more about Pedagogue, specifically, what I'm thinking, what I'm doing, and my plans for the podcast. Of course, another good thing is for me to reflect on conversations with the contributors and to bring attention to some resources they might mention during those conversations. I see this blog space, again, as a chance to further foster discussion, support diverse voices, and celebrate pedagogical successes.
If you follow along, you'll be the first to hear about episode releases (before Twitter or Instagram). With that being said, my plan is to release episodes every 3 to 4 weeks. Right now, that's going to be the best schedule -- it will help keep me focused on my own teaching, writing, and service. Podcasting takes a lot of time and energy (e.g. editing, transcribing), and I want to produce good quality material. So, I'm excited about the potential for this podcast, and I'm excited to share the release of our next episode: Episode 2: Mike Rose (pt. 2) will be released Friday, 05/31. Be looking for that. And please, subscribe, rate/review, and share. Until next time, -S Hi, everyone! You can now subscribe and rate/review Pedagogue on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, iHeartRadio, SoundCloud, Spotify, or Stitcher
Yours, -S In this episode, Mike Rose talks about his first experience teaching, how he's changed, the intimate connection between teaching and writing, and how he continues to feel a sense of unbelonging.
Listen on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, iHeartRadio, SoundCloud, Spotify, or Stitcher Hello everyone! I'm excited to launch Pedagogue, a podcast about teachers talking writing. Pedagogue is designed to foster and promote diverse voices at various institutions. Each episode will be with one (or more) teacher and will last about 20-25 minutes. My hope is these conversations encourage and inspire us, that Pedagogue becomes a place where teachers find community, where ideas and classroom practices are shared, where we learn from one another, where we get a closer look at what other teachers are doing elsewhere. All for the betterment of our classrooms and for our students. That's the purpose of Pedagogue. I sent out a tweet in early April 2019 asking if anyone would be interested in a podcast about teachers talking writing:
"Hi, I'm thinking about creating a website and podcast called 'Pedagogue' where I have conversations with different teachers, reflecting on teaching writing, what inspires them, their work, challenges, etc. Diverse institutions, diverse teachers, diverse specialties. Any interest"? It circulated. I was surprised by the attention, and about a week or so later, I created the site. I reached out to a few people (some I knew, most I didn't). And now, here we are with Episode 1: Mike Rose (pt. 1). My goal is to use this blog as a way to reflect on my conversations with teachers -- I see this as another opportunity to promote teachers, to share, to collaborate. So please follow along and contribute. Thanks for teaching, thanks for caring. Until next time. -S |
