• learn more about OER,
• find resources for their courses, and
• incorporate them into their pedagogy.

OER can serve many different purposes, including reducing course costs for students, providing more relevant resources for your course, and filling in gaps in representation. Open pedagogy is the practice of engaging with students as creators of information rather than simply consumers of it (description licensed under a by the University of Texas Arlington Libraries).

Through collaborative game-play, participants will learn engaged and embodied teaching techniques, practices, and processes that give students in any field a genuine experience of radical creativity & innovation.

Date: Wednesday, April 12, 2023

Time: 12:00pm – 2:00pm

Location: MIX Lab (SBUS 014)

Presenter: In this lecture Pavlo Lushyn (Educational Foundations) will make a case for the end of the “PTSD industry” (Stephen Joseph) and the emergence of a more generative view of trauma articulated by the Post-Traumatic Growth Movement.  As a practitioner of both psychotherapy and teaching, Professor Lushyn’s lecture integrates theory with stories of post-traumatic growth, reflecting his decades of work in and out of the classroom, and his most immediate experiences supporting Ukrainians experiencing the trauma of war today. Professor Lushyn will draw on his experiences and expertise to suggest implications for teaching – relevant to all instructors as we continue to encounter a student population that exhibits mental health disturbances in response to traumatic experiences.

Respondent: Laura Quiros (Social Work and Child Advocacy) will provide an initial response to Professor Lushyn’s talk based on work using trauma-informed pedagogies to advance social justice by building social connection, inclusion, and empathetic accountability.

This session will be introduced by Pablo Tinio, Chairperson, Educational Foundations.
