SUMMARY:Faculty Book Club: Pedagogy of Kindness
DESCRIPTION:A Pedagogy of Kindness\n\nCatherine J. Denial\n\nAcademia is 
 not\, by and large\, a kind place. Individualism and competition are what 
 count. But without kindness at its core\, Catherine Denial suggests\, 
 higher education fails students and instructors—and its mission—in 
 critical ways.\n\nPart manifesto\, part teaching memoir\, part how-to 
 guide\, A Pedagogy of Kindness urges higher education to get aggressive 
 about instituting kindness\, which Denial distinguishes from niceness. 
 Having suffered beneath the weight of just “getting along\,” 
 instructors need to shift every part of what they do to prioritizing care 
 and compassion—for students as well as for themselves.\n\nA Pedagogy of 
 Kindness articulates a fresh vision for teaching\, one that focuses on 
 ensuring justice\, believing people\, and believing in people. Offering 
 evidence-based insights and drawing from her own rich experiences as a 
 professor\, Denial offers practical tips for reshaping syllabi\, assessing 
 student performance\, and creating trust and belonging in the classroom. 
 Her suggestions for concrete\, scalable actions  outline nothing less than 
 a transformational discipline—one in which\, together\, we create bright 
 new spaces\, rooted in compassion\, in which all engaged in teaching and 
 learning might thrive.\n\n-\n\nCatherine J. Denial is Bright Distinguished 
 Professor of American History and Director of the Bright Institute at Knox 
 College. A regular speaker and consultant on teaching and learning\, she is 
 also the author of Making Marriage: Husbands\, Wives\, and the American 
 State in Dakota and Ojibwe Country. Find her online at
