Dr. Qiaoyun Zhang, Assistant Professor in the General Education Office (2019-2022) and Department of Social Sciences (2022- ) at UIC. A cultural anthropologist, Dr. Zhang’s research interests include post-disaster recovery, risk and culture, ethnic relations, and intangible cultural heritage safeguarding in China.
Abstract This lecture explores how empathy and reflexivity, the keystones of contemporary pedagogical philosophy, can be taught, learned, and applied through general education (GE) courses with an anthropological approach. General education courses aim to offer students foundational, interdisciplinary, and reflexive knowledge of human cultures and societies. Anthropological theories and methodologies provoke researchers to understand cultural differences from a holistic, comparative, and relativist viewpoint. Drawing on focus group interviews with students of the GE courses at BNU-HKBU United International College, Dr. Zhang in this lecture will discuss that an effective and affective way of teaching empathy and reflexivity in general education courses is to raise a sensitive understanding of peoples and cultures at the margin of society and to encourage critical analyses of the historicity and complexity of social issues.
To promote teaching excellence at UIC, “Open Classroom Initiative” (OCI) is launched to provide colleagues a safe space to learn and develop innovative and technological pedagogical practices from the exemplary colleagues who have demonstrated teaching excellence in their courses. If you would like to observe the participating courses, please register and choose the available timeslot in advance.
