Pedagogy in Process

Pedagogy in Process

Pedagogy in Process is an independent podcast by and for educators working at the intersections of social justice and the arts and humanities. This podcast seeks to create a space for educators to be in dialogue; for complicated, thorny questions with no easy answers; for honesty and vulnerability; for being really, really nerdy; for staring down impossible challenges but deciding to tackle them anyway; for working through it all together. This podcast will hold space for generative, messy, complex, challenging, always important conversations with fellow educators. We’ll share successes, stumbling blocks, creative interventions, and lessons learned through the process of building more inclusive, equitable, and collaborative learning environments. Ultimately, the goal is to make these insights, tools, and resources accessible to other teachers working through the same questions in a format that can meet them where they are. 20-30 minutes at a time, in the car, on the bus, on a run, wherever and whenever you might find a moment to connect. I hope you'll join us. Pedagogy in Process is hosted, edited, and produced by Nicolas Shannon Savard, PhD (they/them/theirs). drnssavard.com

Key Questions:
What is access intimacy, and what interventions might it make where higher ed’s other models of accessibility (ADA, Universal Design, DEI) fall short?
How d...

In this episode, university arts educators share practical strategies for defusing homophobia and transphobia in the classroom while accounting for our increasingly polarized political realities across the U.S. Rather than combatting or fighting queerphobia, they present approaches they have used to keep students engaged in dialogue and promote inclusive, respectful classroom culture.

The mini presentations feature:

Nicolas, Dr. Katya Vrtis and Kairos Looney continue their discussion on what disability history can teach us about the contemporary wave of anti-trans politics.

    Betrayal Season 5

    Saskia Inwood woke up one morning, knowing her life would never be the same. The night before, she learned the unimaginable – that the husband she knew in the light of day was a different person after dark. This season unpacks Saskia’s discovery of her husband’s secret life and her fight to bring him to justice. Along the way, we expose a crime that is just coming to light. This is also a story about the myth of the “perfect victim:” who gets believed, who gets doubted, and why. We follow Saskia as she works to reclaim her body, her voice, and her life.
