The Glorisun Global Network for Buddhist Studies @ UBC, the Robert H.N. Ho Family Foundation Program in Buddhism and Contemporary Society, along with administrative support from the UBC SSHRC partnership grant project FROGBEAR (From the Ground Up: Buddhism & East Asian Buddhism), proudly present a lecture by Professor Susan Andrews (Mount Allison University)
演讲者:安素桑(艾利森山大学)
When: 4 pm Thursday, October 18th, 2018
Venue: Auditorium Annex A room 157
Abstract:
本次演讲邀请我们来思考在本科生的课堂上如何能够更有效地使用佛教与东亚宗教研究项目(FROGBEAR)团队整理的新的文本和视觉材料。本次演讲除了介绍到目前为止国际团队的学者和学生们所汇集的各种材料外,还将提出一些具体的策略,以将这些材料从田野带到本科生的学习环境中。
Purpose:
At the end of the interactive presentation, attendees will be able to:
- Recall the type of research Frogbear team members are generating.
- Describe some concrete ways we can incorporate the material into preexisting lessons.
- Explain how one might build learning units around the material.
- Use some practical techniques introduced (big arrow, small detail; play dough storytelling; one of these things is not like the others) in their own undergraduate classes (of 10 or 500 students)
An informal discussion intended to generate further ideas about how we are or could incorporate this exciting research in our classrooms will follow.
About the Speaker:
Susan Andrews is Associate Professor of East Asian religions at Mount Allison University. Her research explores sacred place and pilgrimage, Buddhism’s interactions with autochthonous forms of practice, and the economics of religious life. Her teaching prioritizes hands-on learning and she is interested in better understanding the possibilities that embodied pedagogies hold for undergraduate students of religious studies.
