Resilient Pedagogy
Practical Teaching Strategies to Overcome
Distance, Disruption, and Distraction
Travis N Thurston, Kacy Lundstrom, and Christopher González
As the first book in the Empower Teaching Open Access Book Series, Resilient Pedagogy offers a comprehensive collection on resilient pedagogy framed in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic and the social justice movements that have swept the globe. As a collection, Resilient Pedagogy is a multi-disciplinary and multi-perspective response to actions taken in different classrooms, across different institution types, and from individuals in different institutional roles. Regardless of your own position or role at your institution, we invite you to take the concepts, strategies, and ideas presented in this volume and find ways to apply them to your own context, and we encourage you to share them widely with others.
