Episode 37 - Don’t Let Crisis Become the Classroom: Joretta Marshall
Dialogue on Teaching, Wabash Center’s podcast series, is hosted by Nancy Lynne Westfield, Ph.D., Director of the Wabash Center. Amplifying the Wabash Center’s mission, the podcasts focus upon issues of teaching and learning in theology and religion within colleges, university, seminaries, as well as the publics impacted by these schools. Dialogues with faculty and administrators working in the wide range of institutional contexts illumine the complexity of teaching and the teaching life.
Teaching during the pandemic needs deep listening, resistance to expedient actions, and awareness that people are differently vulnerable and differently resourced. Adjusting syllabi might mean asking ,“In what ways does the course content relate to this crisis moment?” Every course will need a different pivot, adjustment, or change. Dr. Nancy Lynne Westfield hosts Dr. Joretta Marshall (Brite Divinity School).
