Pedagogies of Place Workshop – Faculty Projects

Last June, CETLL held a three-day workshop, “Pedagogies of Place: a faculty development workshop about teaching in Queens.”

This workshop brought 28 QC faculty members together to deepen our understanding of the place we call Queens, as a campus and as a set of communities and neighborhoods.  Drawing from interdisciplinary approaches to place-based education and pedagogies of writing, we explored how critical and reflective engagement with our local contexts can inform our teaching practices.  All faculty participants worked on a teaching-related project that actively engages with local context in some form.

CETLL is delighted to share the pedagogical materials developed by the Pedagogies of Place workshop participants, available as a collection on our CUNY Academic Commons workshop site under “Faculty Projects”.  https://teachqueens.commons.gc.cuny.edu/

All materials developed through this project are open educational resources, for sharing with the QC community and beyond.  Pedagogies of Place: a faculty development workshop about teaching in Queens was hosted by CETLL and facilitated by Lindsey Albracht (English), Eric Goldfischer (Urban Studies), Soniya Munshi (CETLL/Urban Studies), and Amy Wan (English).  The project was co-sponsored by the QC Library’s OER Initiative, funded by N.Y.S Open Educational Resources Grant.
