“Y Aprender a Ver”: Liberating Our Hearts in Teaching and Learning

Following our “Getting to Know Us, Part I + Part II” episodes, we invite you to our conversation entitled “Y Aprender a Ver”: Liberating Our Hearts in Teaching and Learning. With the aim of liberating our hearts, we sit down for an intimate conversation on how we are gearing up for a new semester of teaching and learning with our students. We discuss why we find personal care and growth vital in starting another semester during a global pandemic as well as the significance of trauma-informed pedagogies, the difficult but urgent process of alchemizing our individual pain into ways of creating community in the classroom, and the importance of sharing pieces of personal and scholarly content that energize us. We share some of the tools we have picked up along our shared journeys of growth and how they can inform connection and foster vulnerability in the classroom during times of grief. We send love and peace your way.
