Towards a Pedagogy of Care
Capacity Building in Indian Higher-ed Academia for Ethical and Inclusive Pedagogical Framework
This symposium aims to conceptualize and initiate a critical dialogue around what we refer to as the “pedagogy of care”. Pedagogy of care is a framework for teaching and mentoring students where care and empathy are extended to both students and faculty, and where conversations on disciplinary professionalism and integrity coexist alongside the increasing demand for a skill-based, job-market centered educational training. In the current higher-ed context, pedagogy of care advocates for reflexive care for faculty, who are increasingly placed in the position of caregiver for students.
