2) “Matters of Belonging” II: Learning and Teaching in Relation—Fuller’s Conversations and Beyond

What do Fuller (in her Conversations, journalism, varied reform projects) and other women educators of her era suggest to us about modes of relationality and feeling in our efforts to teach and learn together, both inside and outside the classroom?

Potential points of contact:

Feeling as medium and/or content of learning

Building community in the learning environment

Learning collectively, challenging hierarchies

Conversation as an often-neglected learning outcome—and as urgent civic education

Perspective of grad student teachers

Public humanities

Social justice pedagogy

Restorative justice practices, including circle work

Community engagement and service learning

Learning venues outside the traditional classroom (for example: prisons, websites, museums, nature centers)

Marginalized populations reclaiming their stories

Mentoring

Autobiographical elements

Role of technology

Fertile challenges and problems
