Diminishing Graduate Student-Teacher Power Dynamics Through Care And Vulnerability, Takhmina Shokirova, Lisa Ruth Brunner
Feminist Pedagogy
In this critical reflection, we discuss the concepts of ‘care’ (hooks, 1994) and ‘vulnerability’ (Cano Abadía, 2021) as they relate to the student-teacher power dynamics instructors often face – consciously or not – in graduate-level post-secondary contexts.

With regard to these students, we adapted our teaching. Regard(less), we carried on. In this article, we think with regard(less) as a pedagogical concept and practice that playfully, though necessarily, shifts between regardless and regard. Though regardless we kept teaching, we did so with regard …

Feminist Pedagogy
In the midst of the dual/dueling pandemics COVID-19 and anti-Black racism, the instructors considered how best to have the course requirements for a qualitative research course meet students' personal and academic needs, while managing students' and their own exhaustion and fear. Through hybrid Zoom-based focus groups, instructors and students applied a "pedagogy of tenderness" that centered care and humanity as essential to classroom interactions and learning.
