FROM COPING TO HOPING: TEACHING STUDENTS TO THRIVE THROUGH SOCIAL TRAUMA

Описание: From Coping to Hoping Teaching Students to Thrive through Social Trauma

KEYNOTE DESCRIPTION:
This presentation will juxtapose research in the health sciences with critical pedagogy to inform a new paradigm for thinking about pedagogy, complex traumas, and education. This framework will serve as an analytical lens for understanding the educational experiences of multiply marginalized students and, more importantly, considering ways in which the socially toxic stress disrupting their learning can be more effectively remedied. This type of pedagogical approach to can facilitate critical hope and, in turn, be transformative because it allow students to imagine ways they can thrive through socially toxic stress.
