Transformative Teaching and Learning Retreat
June 24-26, 2025
The Centre for Learning and Teaching (CLT) warmly invites members of the teaching and learning communities of H, The University of King’s College, Halifax, and beyond, to join us in our third annual Transformative Pedagogies retreat. This event is free of charge and open to all.
A detailed schedule of events will be available in the coming weeks.
Our theme this year is Access to Learning: Multifocal Approaches to Accessibility.
Students experience barriers to learning for many reasons and in particular, students of equity-denied groups. This includes, for example, Indigenous, Black, racialized, 2SLGBTQ+++, those with disabilities, and/or non-Christian communities. And many students are from two or more communities, compounding the barriers to, and inequities in, their education. For this reason, conversations and teaching practices centering “accessibility” must attend to the whole student and to cultivate learning environments wherein all members contribute to accessible, equitable, and socially just education.
Each year, the Transformative Pedagogies Retreat provides an unhurried space for folk to learn, converse, reflect, integrate, and connect with others who share a passion for transformational education. Continuing with this tradition, we are looking forward to having robust and thoughtful discussions and reflections, as the members of the teaching and learning community come together.
