About this session: In this safe and brave community space, BaCE participants are encouraged to attend and just be. In the Popular Education Model, also known as empowerment education, a tenet is that learning occurs using heads (cognitive), hearts (affective), and bodies (psychomotor). Participants will be encouraged to engage in social learning/artistic modalities/activities, share their aesthetic expression, reflect, and be in community with one another. Resources will be provided as examples on use of diverse modalities in engagement in research, scholarship, and teaching.
