Pedagogies

HAB locates itself in real-world situations, engaging socially and intellectually with neighbourhoods and communities that constitute the physical and human ecology of an educational institution and its surrounding society.

Our teaching and learning in context philosophies take inspiration from place-based education (PBE) pedagogies, re-enchanting them as a civially grounded, research and teaching strategy in the age of AI and false truths.

Across the diversity and difference in the various cultural and academic intersections the HAB partners inhabit, we have identified the following common themes or sites of meaning-making to facilitate dialogue and civic immersion across the network: craft, food, place, and stories.

The sites of meaning-making act as the bridge to create pedagogies that enable experiences of relatedness across borders and encourage dialogue between different ways of thinking and knowing about the worlds in which we live.

HAB has experimented with a variety of formats anchoring intersectional pedagogies like in situ or ‘on-site’ policy roundtables, graduate schools, and practice-based workshops.

All such work builds capacities and facilitates the creation of a next generation of narrative researchers and civically grounded pedagogies.
