Join us this Spring for a four-session book club on A Pedagogy of Kindness (Catherine J. Denial) as we explore the revolutionary power of accessibility, compassion, and human-centeredness in the classroom.
All discussions take place on Tuesdays from 11:00am-12:00pm in the CTL (PCL 3.349). This series will provide lunch for participants as well as a copy of the book.

Reviews for A Pedagogy of Kindness:
"A Pedagogy of Kindness is girded by science and research but presented in a humane, personable way. Reading this book is akin to faculty development for the soul.”
—Regan A. R. Gurung, coauthor of Thriving in Academia: Building a Career at a Teaching-Focused Institution
“All too often, kindness is conflated with insipid niceties, polite pretense, or hollow axioms. But, as Catherine J. Denial forcefully demonstrates, it can also be a revolutionary pedagogical practice. Replete with practical advice and actionable teaching takeaways, A Pedagogy of Kindness will make you a believer in the profound power of real kindness in the classroom.”
—Jessamyn Neuhaus, author of Geeky Pedagogy: A Guide for Introverts, Intellectuals, and Nerds Who Want to Be Effective Teachers
