Set the Syllabus Free: Reimagining Learning for a Liberated Future

The traditional classroom can feel rigid and uninspiring, locked into predictable rhythms of lectures and reading lists: lecture, read, grade, repeat. But what if pedagogy was a dynamic, immersive practice—one that sparks curiosity, fuels creativity, and transforms learning into something truly alive? This session reimagines pedagogy beyond rote tradition, showcasing innovative approaches that deepen critical engagement and empower students to embody their learning. We'll explore strategies that honor multiple ways of knowing by treating the classroom as a space of discovery rather than mere content delivery. Participants will leave with practical insights for designing courses that embrace creativity, dialogue, and imagination, equipping students to engage the world with fresh eyes and deeper purpose.
