Developing Critical Pedagogy on Empathy

The Hello Frequency Podcast acknowledges the Tainui people of the Waikato region, where it was recorded. Respects to elders past, present, and emerging. Welcome to The Hello Frequency, My Dear Listeners: I am your host, Caya. In this thought-provoking episode, Nishhza and I explore educational methods that emphasise understanding and compassion, focusing on #CriticalPedagogy and #CriticalEmpathy. With Nishhza’s expertise as a high school teacher, we discuss how educators can cultivate empathy through critical thinking and reflective teaching practices that are rooted in community values, uplifting #TransChlidren #PeopleOfColour, including #QueerPeopleOfColour. We also explore topics like #FindingCommunity, #SharedUnderstandings, and #TheValueOfFriendships, while recognising the impact of #DarkHistories and #DiasporasFrozenInTime, as well as the challenges stemming from inadequate support for school teachers. Our conversation highlights #TheImportanceOfUnderstandingContext, embracing #NonBinaries, and the power of #HoldingASafeSpaceForChildren. We emphasise the necessity of #HoldingMultipleTruthsSimultaneously to promote humanity and justice for all. This episode underscores the need to #BetterSupportForTeachers, fostering educational environments that nurture emotional intelligence and social justice. Join us for this expansive and insightful discussion. Happy listening!Copyright and Citation© Divakalala, C. (2024). Developing Critical Pedagogy on Empathy.
