How are students learning? Through critical reading and case studies, we will uncover ways to navigate teaching and learning when both faculty and students are experiencing trauma. Given our recent experience with Hurricane Helene, our time together may provide insights to navigating that pedagogical landscape in future disaster scenarios.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Facilitated by:\u00a0<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Lyn Burkett<\/strong><\/a><\/span>, Assistant Professor of Practice, School of Music Meeting Dates:<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Meeting Time:\u00a0<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span>12:30 \u2013 1:30 pm<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Location:<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span>CFC Design Studio, 1st Floor of Hunter Library<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_6,1_6,1_6,1_6,1_6,1_6″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_6″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_6″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_6″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/affiliate.wcu.edu\/cfc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/87\/2025\/03\/Disaster-Pedagogy-for-Higher-Education.jpeg” alt=”Book cover of %22Disaster Pedagogy for Higher Education%22 by Victor Malo-Juvera and Nicholas C.
