It has happened before and it will happen again! Although there's something about the MM streaming platforms that doesn't like being shown on the big screen in the CETLSS Classroom. Nevertheless, I persist.

CETLSS hosted a book club on Cate Denial's "A Pedagogy of Kindness" last semester. There's certainly a throughline here. Many of our conversations about faculty relaying kindness to students also included concerns about the lack of kindness being conferred to faculty by the institution.
