This document discusses creating inclusive classroom spaces through participatory pedagogies. It explores challenges like student engagement, diversity, and mental health issues. Developing emotionally intelligent teaching practices can help address these challenges by improving self-awareness, self-regulation, empathy, and social skills. The case study describes transforming a sociology module from traditional lectures to student-led presentations and discussion, with benefits like increased student engagement, ownership, and learning from each other. Reflection on flexibility, control issues, and institutional support can further enhance participatory pedagogies.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

1. Creating Spaces of Inclusion:
Exploring innovation in participative
classroom pedagogies
Dr Carole Davis
Dr Erin Sanders-
McDonagh
2. Aims of this presentation
explore some of the challenges of getting
students to engage fully in the classroom
consider some of the barriers that impede
students' learning
explore some ways that we might develop a
more emotionally intelligent teaching
practice.
3.
4. What are some of the challenges in
these pedagogic spaces ?
Managing expectations
Communication
Diversity
Student behaviour – high and low level
disruption
Mental health issues/distress
5. Things to consider
What is the impact of behaviour on the learning
environment?
What impact do the actions/non-actions of teaching
and learning support staff have on student learning ?
How does it affect teaching and learning support
staff?
Who can help you including existing organisational
structures?
What might I/We do or not do ?
What is relevant to you ?
6. The case for developing
emotionally intelligent teachers
To survive and thrive in our work.
By using emotional intelligence we become
more adept at self-management, through
handling of tasks and time but also self-awareness
and in management of emotions.
By acknowledging to and attending to the
affective domain we significantly enhance
student engagement and achievement.
7. Emotional Intelligence :five emotional
and social competencies
Self-awareness : what do I feel in the moment ;
knowing limits and having a well-grounded self-confidence
Self-regulation : using emotions to facilitate rather
than interfere .
Motivation : take initiative, strive to improve
Empathy : sensing what others are feeling, other
perspectives
Social skills : handle emotions in relationships well
Goleman (1998) adapted from Salovey & Mayer 1997
8. Factors affecting student engagement

12. Sex and pedagogy ?
Links between power and space
How does power operate in the classroom?
How does this link to knowledge? Who
holds/owns knowledge about the subject?
How does the space of the classroom impact
on the teaching/learning experience ?
13. Knowledge as object?
Discipline specific :
- What is ‘knowledge’ for you in your field?
- What different types of knowledge do your
students need to learn?
14. Co-creating knowledge
Teaching to Transgress – bell hooks
Pedagogy of the Oppressed – Paulo Friere
-Idea the knowledge is co-constructed and co-created
-Transgressing power divisions in the classroom
creates a different space
-Knowledge is shifted from the teacher as all-knowing
to a more egalitarian and non-hierarchical engagement
15. Open spaces for Dialogue and
Enquiry : A Methodology
Multiple perspectives are good
No competition for the truth – there is no one specific
‘right’ answer
It should be open-ended in terms of responses –
don’t impose your own perspective on the student,
but equally, don’t allow them to not think about their
own perspectives critically
Conflict as positive and necessary- facilitator
confronts and challenges consensus/status quo (not
aggressive)
16. Case Study : Soc 3740
Third year Sociology/Criminology option
module
31 students
2 hour ‘leminar’ session
Gender and sexuality module
17. Ground Rules for Soc 3740:
Student Expectations
What students expect from me
That I respond to emails within 48 hours
To be available during office hours and whenever
needed
Provide clear feedback – comprehensive, timely
Provide marking criteria – clear and explained
To be a good lecturer – consistent, be on time, be
enthusiastic , stay on topic
Explain theory clearly
18. Ground Rules for Soc 3740:
My Expectations
What I expect from students
Please be polite when you email
Come to my office as often as possible
Come to see me with drafts of work so I can
provide feedback in advance of deadlines
Be ‘good’ students – attentive, engaged, do
the reading, enthusiastic, good attendance,
submit coursework on time
19. Inflexibility
No acceptance of late coursework
X grade for poor attendance – consistent
attendance taking
Strict adherence to co-created and agreed
upon marking criteria
Students must read in advance of class –
links to mode of teaching
20. Flexibility
Not worrying about late students
Changing deadlines for the entire class
where I could feasibly do so
21. Delivering the Module
First 4 weeks were more ‘traditional’ with 45-60
minute lectures followed by seminar
From week 5 students present a 15 minute
summative presentation based on a critical reading
of an assigned article
I provide a 15-20 minute lecture
Discussion of the lecture, the presentations, and the
reading becomes the key focus of ‘leminar’ – dialogic
process
22. Benefits
Students attended, read, engaged
Student presentations were, by and large, fantastic
Students took ownership of the space to some
extent (this probably is more about my need to
control than their lack of ability)
I learned something from them!
Less administration
Less lecture prep (but you must know your material
inside and out!)
23. Issues to consider
Time intensive (at times) – tutorials and office hours
Emotionally involving
Cohort size/year group
Dealing with control issues
Institutionally / departmental support
Assessment strategies
Curriculum (example Crm 1420)
Co-teaching
24. Next steps …..
Our ongoing research into intersectionality ;
teaching large groups ; team teaching and
academic identity
Working collaboratively starting with YOUR
areas of concern
Empowering and confidence building through
teaching observation and conversation
