Asian North American Religion, Culture, and Society Unit and Transformative Scholarship and Pedagogy Unit

“Embodied Pedagogies: Teaching Asian American Religions”

The Transformative Scholarship and Pedagogy and Asian North American Religion, Culture, and Society (ANARCS) units are seeking panel or roundtable proposals that highlight creative pedagogies in teaching Asian American religions. What learning outcomes result when we step outside of the expected lecture format? How can active learning activities engage a diverse group of students or address specific challenges that might arise in teaching Asian American religions? Conversely, are there instances when embodied pedagogies may not be appropriate or effective? We would especially welcome analyses and presentations that invite audience engagement and response as “students” in the classroom.
