Teaching in Higher Ed

Holding Class While Holding Our Breath


Listen Later

Betsy Barre discusses the times when we are holding our breath while holding class on episode 548 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast.

Quotes from the episode

I think we could be more generous when we talk to people who disagree with us about pedagogy and recognize the complexity of the decisions that we’re making.

-Betsy Barre

There’s been a lot of really somewhat heated discourse about whether it’s appropriate to share your views in class, or if that’s a violation of your responsibilities.

-Betsy Barre

Institutions can’t be fully neutral.

-Betsy Barre
