Academia from the Margins - Teaching to the Margins with Brooke Carlson

Remixing the Humanities

This time Geoff and Michael talk to Brooke Carlson of Chaminade University in Hawaii about what it means to teach in the margins. Talking about non-traditional student populations, what does it mean to adapt a more traditional humanities model to get at what we think is important? We talk about what it means to try to foster a lifetime love of learning, how to use time and digital tools to your benefit and creating a culture where failure doesn’t mean the end of your experience, but rather a beginning. Also, how do we press the notions of “decolonizing” of syllabi and content into a framework that benefits our non-traditional or marginalized students?
