Care as the First Student Learning Objective: Breaking the Genre of the Higher Education Classroom (UCI Symposium)
A two-day symposium to reimagine the genre of university education in which student care and intellectual rigor are mutually constitutive goals of every classroom. Join for a two-day wholescale reimagination of the college classroom culture, its relations of power and knowledge, its relation to temporality, its relation to differential bodyminds.
This event is part of a three-year multi-campus research grant at the University of California (which includes UCLA) focusing on “Abolition Medicine and Disability Justice: Mapping Inequity and Renewing the Social Project.”
