UMBC Department of Education Research Seminar Series
The Culturally Sustaining Possibilities of
Embodied Literacy Pedagogies
Rebecca Woodard (University of Illinois Chicago) and Amy Tondreau (UMBC)
May 3, 2023 - 12:00-1:00pm | University Center Room 310
The UMBC Department of Education Research Seminar in May will feature special guest Dr. Rebecca Woodard (University of Illinois Chicago) together with Education faculty member Dr. Amy Tondreau.
Dr. Woodard will draw from three empirical studies to showcase how
embodied literacy pedagogies offer potential for cultivating Culturally
Sustaining Pedagogy and call for expanding conceptualizations of
Culturally Sustaining Pedagogy to account for contemporary embodied
experiences on a planet in crisis. Dr. Tondreau will connect Dr.
Woodard's research to her own work to extend Culturally Sustaining
Pedagogy through Disability Sustaining Pedagogy, and discuss how these
shared interests and ideas are informing their cross-institutional
collaboration.
All members of the
department, partners/collaborators, and students/faculty from other departments are invited to attend. Lunch will be provided by the department. Please RSVP by April 29th by completing this form:
