Virtual Colloquium: Prof. Dr. Anke Schwittay – “Teaching Critical Hope in Higher Education”

We are joined on this Thursday, April 30th by Prof. Dr. Anke Schwittay online on Zoom at 9:00 am Berlin-time for a presentation titled “Teaching Critical Hope in Higher Education”, as part of the Virtual Colloquium.

In this talk Anke will present a critical-creative pedagogy for students to better understand global challenges and create alternative responses to them. Critical hope is a crucial element of this pedagogy and she will draw on her own teaching experiences to share practical examples of such hope-focused teaching.

Anke is an anthropologist and educator at Sussex University in the UK, with over 20 years of university teaching experience in Canada, the US, New Zealand and the UK. She is the author of Creative Universities: Reimagining Higher Education for Global Challenges and Alternative Futures, published by Bristol University Press in 2021. Her current research focuses on student housing cooperatives as autonomous, experiential and prefigurative learning spaces. She regularly shares teaching insights and research updates on her blog at www.creativeuniversities.com.
