In a new episode of Community of Practice, Brenna and Dave unpack the role of authority in the classroom, being aware of how power dynamics are at work, and why “safe space” discourse is so threatening to university folks.Brenna Clarke Gray David N. Wright www.wlupress.wlu.ca/...

Aaron Boehmer on finding books and more in community libraries in times like these: "These local libraries gesture toward a different kind of recordkeeping that is grounded in community stewardship rather than state authority."

We’re only two in, but this is the best episode yet! (Although, I do use the phrase “get in the shoes of” twice, which is weird!)
The Community of Praxis cover image features a multi-coloured outline of two people facing each other with speech bubbles above. The text reads New Episode! Community of Praxis in Conversation: Who Am I in the Classroom?
New Episode of Community of Practice! Brenna and Dave unpack “trickle-down clamping down,” making space for curiosity, and the importance of being surprised in the classroom, and Dave confesses that he’s tired of learning. @brennacgray.bsky.social @davidnwright.bsky.social www.wlupress.wlu.ca/...
We're having a launch event for Community of Praxis, and you're invited! Please join us to celebrate the show and also talk about peer reviewed scholarly podcasting with the folks from @amplifypodnetwork.bsky.social!
Today is the release of the first of the "companion" episodes of Community of Praxis. Here @davidnwright.bsky.social and I talk through my conversation with @cjdenial.bsky.social. It's like listening in on a coffee chat after a great conference keynote -- come think alongside us about Cate's work!
Every feature episode is paired with a conversation about the interview with @davidnwright.bsky.social. Kind of like a conference hallway chat or a coffee break after a long day of teaching, we try to find practical approaches for using the ideas of the feature episode guest.
Brutal news. He was the best of us.
He was on my dissertation committee and engaged with a typo-ridden undeveloped stab at thoughtfulness in a way that I’ve attempted to emulate ever since. Just a solid fucking dude. I’ll miss such legacies.
This is great! We’re part of the problem! (Makes me feel like we should have spent more time on it…)
