Keynote Presentation: Fieldnotes From an Educator’s Unlearning: Provocation and Possibility
Keynote Speaker: Dr. Remi Kalir
Description: Challenges within and beyond the university have catalyzed opportunities to unlearn and reimagine how we teach. In this keynote, Dr. Remi Kalir will share fieldnotes from his unlearning as a pandemic pedagogue—with attention to course design, digital pedagogy, and student engagement. Blending provocation with practical recommendation, Dr. Kalir’s talk will call upon educators to reexamine instructional routines, question learning design, and spark new educational possibilities.
