Tuesday, April 1 | 2:00 pm – 3:30 pmBeing creative and integrating play into university teaching can feel like too much work, chaotic, and even inappropriate: after all, what’s so playful about teaching Dewey, Deleuze, or Derrida? And, where is there even space in the curriculum? Yet, not everything in teaching needs to be preplanned, prepped, predicted and predictable. Spontaneity can further safety in the classroom. And play in teaching can even be a way of challenging the neoliberal and colonial structures in which we work. In this interactive, participatory workshop, Erica Mohan and Jude Walker (EDST) will show how creativity, play and spontaneity is an attitude we can adopt in our teaching rather than something to add onto our already packed syllabi. They will share their own experiences and introduce participants to activities they have used in their classes, from games to role-plays to improv and artistic playful engagements, all of which support risk-taking, make teaching and learning more fun and further the learning of both teachers and students. This workshop welcomes faculty members, instructors, TAs and graduate students — anyone who teaches adults in some way — who are interested in exploring how creativity, play and spontaneity can improve their pedagogy and bring more joy to their teaching.
Presenters: Erica Mohan & Jude Walker Location: Neville Scarfe, Room 1007
