New EDI Dialogues episode! Re-centre Pedagogies, De-centre Curricula
By UCL CHE, on 31 May 2024
Macarena Jiménez Naranjo promised her student, Nadia Hussain, and the rest of Nadia’s classmates that they would receive full marks for one part of their assessments — simply for turning up to class. Listen to find out how this bold decision lifted the pressure of grades, fostered student-led scholarly exploration, and drew students back into the classroom after the fracturing effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Participants: Mazal Oaknín, Macarena Jiménez Naranjo, and Nadia Hussain (all from UCL’s Department of Spanish, Portuguese and Latin American Studies)
