Reimagining the Teach-In: Israel/Palestine Post October 7

Special Session VI-01, sponsored byOrganized by the Committee for Undergraduate Middle East Studies (CUMES), 2024 Annual Meeting

On Wednesday, November 13 at 2:30 pm

Special Session Description
This roundtable brings together faculty from different types of universities in the US and Canada to reflect on the types of public engagement teaching they participated in over the course of the Gaza War. Teach-ins are a type of critical pedagogy that seeks to provide the audience with tools and insights to consider, bringing out the nuances of a topic and helping the audience understand the complexities of a program. The questions this roundtable will address are the following: What worked? What did not? How did the audience and location affect the outcome? What model for the teach-in was used and how can this be adapted to other areas. Teach-ins are a specific type of activist pedagogy that focuses on teaching beyond the classroom. They "call in" interested parties and encourage dialogue about critical issues.
