Bridging Divides at Duke

Join us for the next session of our Spring 2025 Lunch & Learn series on Pedagogies of Care with Dr. Nayoung Aimee Kwon, Associate Professor in the Department of Asian and Middle Eastern Studies. This series builds on the pedagogies of care summit panel of 2023 and our Spring 2024 Lunch & Learn series. We recognize "pedagogies of care" as a broad umbrella which could encompass many topics, and Dr. Kwon's session is titled "Bridging Research, Teaching, and Program Building across Divided Legacies at Duke University".

This workshop explores possibilities and challenges in bridging research, teaching, and program building across disciplinary and historic divisions. Sharing program building and pedagogical experiences from the UNIV 101 course on Race as well as the Asian American & Diaspora Studies (AADS) Program at Duke, we will explore lessons learned on how to build connections across divisions of labor and contested histories toward creating more sustainable, caring, and sharing communities of scholars and teachers beyond historic and institutional divides.

The format of this session will be an hour-long virtual lunch & learn, with about 30 minutes of presentation and 30 minutes of discussion/Q&A. This lunch & learn will be recorded and will use Zoom auto-generated captions.
