Center for Engaged Pedagogy

In April, CEP Executive Director Melissa Wright and Post Baccalaureate Fellow Alexa Easter attended the 2024 General Education, Pedagogy and Assessment (GEPA) Conference held in Providence, RI. The conference, organized by the American Association of Colleges and Universities, focuses on reimagining undergraduate education. They were joined by Maddie Miley from Barnard’s Office of Institutional Effectiveness. Alexa and Maddie are pictured here in front of the poster. The group presented on the Student Learning Assessment Fellows Program at Barnard.

In February 2024, CEP student interns collaboratively developed and facilitated the Radical Love and Pedagogy workshop. Read their reflections on the process of creating and co-leading the workshop.

At the Center for Engaged Pedagogy, we believe that teaching and learning is a transformative process. Both students and teachers engage in meaningful teaching and learning practices that foster mutual growth and facilitate the collaborative cultivation of knowledge. We are committed to supporting and striving towards inclusive and innovative pedagogical practices that acknowledge diverse ways of knowing, forms of expertise, and academic pathways.

The 6th annual Bold Conference facilitated conversation between students, faculty, and staff with the intention of strengthening teaching and learning at Barnard. The conference featured sessions on generative AI, facilitation, the politics of refusal, citation justice, and more. These sessions were developed in collaboration with the CEP student and faculty advisory committees.

This resource presents a snapshot of an ongoing project that is dedicated to exploring techniques for facilitating complex classroom dialogues. Both this snapshot and the larger project it is connected to are intended to be dynamic resources that the CEP will expand and revise as it learns about and experiments with different facilitation tools and processes.
