A Pedagogy of Hope During the Time of Monsters
It’s difficult to escape the monstrous problems which confront those of us who care deeply about higher education and its community. We are still reckoning with Covid-19 and the damage it’s done. Moreover, inequities, injustices, violence, and fear shape the environments in which we and our students have to operate. We reside, to use the (translated) words of philosopher Antonio Gramsci, in “the time of monsters.” While it may seem perverse to talk about “hope” in this context, as we move into this new and uncertain chapter in higher education, it is a pedagogy based in hope that offers us the best opportunity to shape this “new normal” in ways which advance teaching and learning, equity, and justice—both on campus and in our communities. This session will explore the ingredients of a Pedagogy of Hope and offer both principles and concrete strategies for us to make that hope meaningful and operational.

About CIT
Established in 1992, the Conference on Instruction & Technology (CIT) is the State University of New York's (SUNY's) largest and most prominent event on instructional technology in education, providing a forum for faculty, instructional support professionals, and policymakers to present, discuss, and explore innovative avenues for integrating technology into the teaching and learning environment. CIT, now in its 28th year, is held annually on a SUNY campus. The on-campus environment creates an informal atmosphere of sharing and networking among colleagues. The resulting camaraderie promotes a collaborative environment within and across disciplines for faculty from all campus types. CIT has drawn between 350 to 500 attendees, all of whom are actively involved in researching, developing, promoting, and incorporating technology in education.
