Trauma-Informed Pedagogy for Social Justice: An OFE Partner Session In-Person / Online
Professor Laura Quiros is new to Montclair, but not new to teaching, pedagogy, or social justice. These three passions led her to develop an approach toward trauma-informed pedagogy that furthers her goals as a social justice advocate and educator. In this workshop, instructors will learn about trauma-informed pedagogy and its usefulness in advancing social justice aims. Participants can expect to learn by doing and working in small groups, and to leave with ideas for enacting this pedagogical approach in their own courses and disciplines. This event will be held online and in person, and refreshments will be provided for in-person attendees.
