HERDSA Webinar: Pedagogies of humility, agility and relationality, and a little river magic, to support Indigenous higher education
Thursday 1 September 2022 - 1.00pm to 2.00pm

"You can never bathe in the same river twice” (Heraclitus): Pedagogies of humility, agility and relationality, and a little river magic, to support Indigenous higher education. Presented by Melinda Lewis

The webinar will share some of my more affective experiences of human connection through on campus, on country and online cultural mentoring to support Indigenous Australian cultural competence. I will speak from my reflections on the curious ways of working when on one shoreline I feel deeply drawn towards Indigenous pedagogies and research methods, and in my own doctoral research, whilst on the other I experience intellectual shame risking cultural protocols and insensitivity. Based on my history, identity, and biography I feel I have to flow like a tide, seeking humility and agility whilst building relationality with people, forms of knowledge and their systems, the natural and social worlds, and through insights of my many selves.

I offer an analogy of the river, where sometimes we may feel adrift, lonely, and disconnected, at other times, sublimely in the flow to the touch. Exploring these interplays through grounded practices and protocols aims to invite navigational stories in teaching for learning, and developing sensitivities written into Indigenous scholarship. Built on culturally nuanced relationships, these ways of working can be deep and rewarding.

HERDSA Scholarship of Teaching and Learning Webinar
Thursday 13th October 2022

The aim of the webinar is to introduce participants to the valuable HERDSA Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL) online learning modules. The modules introduce new scholars to the role and value of SoTL in an academic’s professional learning plan and remind experienced scholars of the process of designing and implementing a SoTL project. In the webinar, participants will be briefly guided through an overview of each of the five modules and discuss the breadth of approaches to engaging with the modules as individuals, communities of practice, and as part of formal learning and teaching accreditation programs. The modules can be accessed individually by HERDSA members, and an institutional license is available for purchase.

Presented by Associate Professor Deb Clarke, Lead author, HERDSA SoTL modules
