Empowering pedagogies: Image-theatre, meal-sharing, and care.

This season, we are focusing on pedagogies that empower. We are asking students to share specific educational experiences that are inclusive and inspiring and how other instructors could incorporate them into their courses. For our first episode, we have not just one, but four student guests: Asha Thapa, Jessica Ho, Angelina Joseph and Niraj Joshi, all international students that participated in a bi-weekly theatre-based workshops hosted by Rita Dhungel, Assistant professor in the School of Social work and Shelley Liebembuk, Associate Professor of Theatre, and Director of UFV’s School of Creative Arts. The students tell us how Rita and Shelley created an inclusive space through shared meals and theatre activities, including image-theatre, a technique for non-actors developed by Augusto Boal. The students provide powerful advice for UFV faculty and staff about how to cultivate reciprocal and caring relationships between students and instructors.
