This is the third episode in a three-part series hosted by podcast host Dr. Mitzi Smith in which she engages in conversation with the members of the "Dreaming Up Pedagogies that Heal" project. They discuss the "classroom" as a space that embodies their dreams, where they risk embodied dreaming, that affirms students' dreams, and where dreams live and not die. The co-leaders of the project are Drs. Kenneth Ngwa and Arthur Pressley (both of Drew Theological School), and the workshop participants are the following,
The workshop participant-scholars are:
Althea Spencer-Miller, Drew Theological School;
Moses Biney, Bethel Presbyterian Church, Brooklyn, NY;
Israel Kamudzandu, St Paul School of Theology, Kansas City, Missouri;
Ericka Dunbar, Baylor University;
Aliou Niang, Union Theological Seminary;
Sharon Williams, Iona University;
Alice Yafeh-Deigh, Azusa Pacific University;
Andrew Mbuvi, Albright College.
The co-leaders obtained a grant that "seeks support for a workshop by faculty of African descent to examine dreams, dreaming, and dream world as pedagogical spaces where healing can be taught and learned; that is, where holistic healing is not a byproduct of teaching and learning (a “benefits package”), or episodes of respite (as if catching one’s breath), but a central purpose. ”
