Teachers have been sharing stories throughout the ages. African griots preserve oral histories of entire communities through storytelling. Indigenous storytellers connect the past, present and future tightening familial and tribal bonds. Culturally, storytelling is important for passing on oral tradition, knowledge, history, and moral lessons. Pedagogically, storytelling serves as a tool to educate, increase knowledge, create meaning and improve society. Stories serve multiple purposes in the classroom. This storytelling immersion invites participants to engage the following pedagogical purposes for the classroom:Storytelling for creative expressionStorytelling for empathyStorytelling for influenceStorytelling for coming to voiceStorytelling for collective communal wisdom sharingParticipants will be asked to bring a course syllabus or assignment in which they have already been exploring storytelling and pedagogy or a course in which they are curious about how storytelling could enrich the classroom experience. QuestionsOur work together will be guided by questions such as:What is the role of storytelling in course design?How do you define storytelling?What is the purpose of storytelling (in general and in the classroom)?What are the ways that storytelling and narrative can positively transform course design and classroom engagementHow do we develop the skills to tell stories and invite storytelling in our classrooms, as opposed to only critically dissecting/reflecting on/analyzing stories?How do we cultivate new storytelling skills/practices in our teaching, scholarship and service?What is the value of curating a list of resources on storytelling and pedagogy? What items are on your list? What resources would you recommend to the roundtable?Of the storytelling purposes mentioned above, which ones resonate with you? Which ones present an area for growth?How are learning activities or assignments that use storytelling or narrative approaches developed or implemented?EligibilityTenured, tenure track, continuing term, and/or full-time contingency.Doctoral degree awarded by the time of applicationTeaching religion, religious studies, or theology in an accredited college or university in the United States, Puerto Rico, or CanadaInstitutional support and personal commitment to participate fully in all roundtable sessions.Application MaterialsApplication Contact Information formCover letterAn introductory letter that describes your teaching context and addresses why you want to be part of this collaborative community, including what you hope to get out of it and what you might contribute to it.

Building Better Futures in Theological and Religious Academies Rountable Important Dates Event: October 27-31, 2024 Gathering Location Yerba Buena Center for the Arts San Francisco, CA Leadership Team Lynne Westfield Director Wabash Center Sarah Farmer Associate Director Wabash Center Participants Rachelle Green, Fordham University Jorge Juan Rodriguez, Union Theological Seminary Shively Smith, Boston University Chelsea Yarborough, Association of Theological Schools Onaje Woodbine, American University Jennifer Harvey, Garrett-Evangelical Theological Seminary Bryson White, Santa Clara University Past Event For more information, please contact: Sarah Farmer Associate Director Wabash Center farmers@wabash.edu Description How do we replenish, nurture, cultivate and foster visioning for new futures in the religion and theological academy? This is a gathering of a small cohort of colleagues who teach religion and theology to engage and reflect upon our place in building better futures in the academy through attendance at SOCAP24 Global Conference. We believe that creating better futures for the religion and theological academy must include an expanded lens beyond the current landscape of theological education. Our hope is that SOCAP24 offers us a glimpse into a larger world for our work in religion and theology. SOCAP Global is the thought leadership platform for accelerating movement towards a more just and sustainable economy. As stated on their website, they convene a global ecosystem and marketplace – social entrepreneurs, investors, foundation and nonprofit leaders, government and policy leaders, creators, corporations, academics, and beyond—through live and digital experiences that educate, spur conversation, and inspire investment in positive impact. Each religious/theological scholars that is participating in this gathering already has an eye towards building more just futures. Our aim is to enhance that vision and dream of pathways forward where we can become better teachers and create healthier institutions. Goals Attend 2024 SOCAP Global Conference together. To explore and imagine alongside a cross-sector of diverse thought leaders about the possibilities for change-making in institutional contexts. To concern ourselves with common ground, good community, the beloved community, bridge building, partnerships, collaborations, and coalitions. To debrief our experiences after the SOCAP Global Conference in order to discern ways of incorporating learnings into our personal or professional teaching lives. To provide spaces for facilitated networking, open dialogue, and intimate conversations about just ways forward. Journey with other scholars of religion/theology towards strengthening the reservoir of belief in the possibility of creating better futures. To articulate and spark visions for new and renewed possibilities for religious and theological education. Preliminary Questions How do we replenish, nurture, cultivate and foster visioning for new futures in the religion and theological academy? Where is the place for social entrepreneurship and visionary leadership as we meet the challenges emerging within theological and religious education? What are our questions and discovery experiences for the affirmation of our lives, healing and moving forward in light of the ever-evolving milieu of theological and religious education alongside the pressing issues in society? What is at stake if we don’t embody better teaching lives, strategize for more equitable institutions, and build more just futures? What partnerships, allies, and co-conspirators might be needed to strategize and invest in this hoped for future?

2025 Sessions Teaching and the Futures of Freedom Educational prophet bell hooks long asserted that education is a practice of freedom. But education is not inevitably so. Education that imagines and invites freedom must be made to do so by educators and students alike. Where might we turn for wisdom, dreams, strategies, and stories about the nature and shape of teaching that rehearses freedom? According to practical theologians and religious educators Rachelle Green and Almeda Wright, we should look at Prisons and Archives. In this session, Green and Wright will put their recent scholarship into conversation with one another: Learning to Live: Prisons, Pedagogy, and Theological Education (2024) and Teaching to Live: Black Religion, Activist-Educators, and Radical Social Change (2024). This conversation will explore how teaching and learning in prison and during times of social change can help us wrestle with the question of how and why we teach when freedoms are threatened. The future of education depends on our ability to imagine futures beyond the present and shape them in and through our teaching. Date & Time Saturday, November 22, 2025 9:00 - 10:30am Location Westin Copley Place, Great Republic Wabash Center Reception We invite you to our 30th Anniversary Reception—a night filled with drinks, tapas, music by our DJ, and delicious desserts.

Enjoy an evening of fellowship, networking, and celebration with colleagues and friends in the field. Let’s come together to honor three decades of transformative teaching and learning—we can’t wait to celebrate with you! Date Saturday, November 22, 2025 8:00 - 10:00pm Location Westin Copley Place, Essex Ballroom Center & South The Classroom as a Site of Healing: Pedagogies of Care and Justice Healing is not just a therapeutic aim—it is a pedagogical imperative. In a world shaped by systemic harm, oppression, and crisis, educators must create learning spaces that acknowledge students’ full selves—their identities, histories, and lived experiences. Traditional educational models have too often ignored the ways trauma, racism, sexism, and class divisions shape students' engagement, confidence, and sense of belonging. Yet, these forces also affect educators, who face their own emotional, intellectual, and institutional challenges in teaching? How do we foster meaningful learning when students arrive in distress? How do we, as educators, sustain ourselves while holding space for students’ realities? This panel explores the tensions and possibilities of teaching in ways that prioritize healing, care, and transformation. Panelists will share concrete strategies for designing classrooms that cultivate agency, curiosity, and intellectual growth—spaces that recognize harm but do not center it. Join us for a conversation about how education can be a practice of healing for both students and educators.
