"Care-full/Care-less?"
Presentation by Dr Judy Thomas, Northumbria University
Designed to consider 'pedagogies of care' within the Fine Art / HE context, this session opens dialogic opportunities to reflect on pedagogic practice and think towards the approaching academic year: 2021/22. Following an unsettled seventeen months of ever-changing uncertainties, we find ourselves at a relevant moment to pause and consider the needs and progression of existing students and how we support the transition of new students into unfamiliar educational environments. The underpinning idea is to focus on what we understand to be ‘care’ and to question how we develop good relationships at such a complex and challenging time, with view to exploring caring teaching strategies and the actions we apply to create inclusive, welcoming spaces.
The aim of this session is to explore what we understand as ‘care’ and 'pedagogies of care’ and to interrogate the spaces we create and strategies we apply to care within them.
The NAFAE AGM and Symposia 2021 will be on Zoom, and spread over a number of days and evenings in July. The symposia will take the form of a number of semi-curated conversations on the theme of 'Kindness and care', with short presentations followed by open conversation among NAFAE members. The symposia will take place between 5.00 and 7.00 on Friday evenings; please provide your own refreshments.
NAFAE members who would like to contribute a 5-10 minute presentation to the 'Kindness/Care' conversations are invited to send a brief summary of the contribution to admin@nafae.org.uk by 12th June 2021.
