Two Thumbs Up: Using Popular Films In Introductory Aging Courses, Rona J. Karasik, Raeann Hamon, Jennifer Writz, Anand Moddu Reddy Mar 2013

Two Thumbs Up: Using Popular Films In Introductory Aging Courses, Rona J. Karasik, Raeann Hamon, Jennifer Writz, Anand Moddu Reddy

HDFS Educator Scholarship

Good teaching requires thoughtful planning and creative thinking, especially when trying to engage students in material that is unfamiliar to them or encumbered by stereotypes, like aging. Classic and contemporary media can provide unique teaching opportunities in gerontology classrooms. Popular films can have a powerful influence over viewers’ attitudes and perceptions, and spur in-depth discussions of aging-related topics common to introductory aging courses (e.g., ageism, abuse, inequality, caregiving, healthy aging, and intimate relationships). Additionally, films appeal to multiple learning styles, engaging a variety of learners. This article examines the value of using films in introductory aging courses, offers strategies for …

Connectivism And Information Literacy: Moving From Learning Theory To Pedagogical Practice, Beth M. Transue Jan 2013

Connectivism And Information Literacy: Moving From Learning Theory To Pedagogical Practice, Beth M. Transue

Many principles of connectivism align with the information literacy standards of the Association for College and Research Libraries (ACRL). Librarian educators should consider connectivism learning theory when implementing pedagogical strategies in the network domains of students.

White Spaces In Black And Latino Places: Urban Agriculture And Food Sovereignty, Brandon Hoover

Sociology Educator Scholarship

In recent years urban agriculture has gained the attention of policy-makers, social organizers, and academics alike. This new wave of work and attention focuses on projects that ameliorate issues ranging from food insecurity to urban blight, and environmental degradation to the subversion of industrial food production. These projects consist of a variation of community gardens, educational programs, demonstration farms, and entrepreneurial production farms (I will identify all of these under the umbrella of urban agriculture (UA)). However, by simply studying the social impact of UA, researchers fail to consider who the active agent is in social change; this results in …
