Higher Education for Good Chapter Conversation with Paola Corti and Chrissi Nerantzi
March 5, 2024 @ 2:00 pm - 3:00 pm BST
With the open release into the world of the monumental project Higher Education for Good (HE4Good) co-edited by Laura Czerniewicz and Catherine Cronin, we are pleased to bring you for Open Education Week, a series OE Week Live conversations focusing on deeper discussions of individual chapters.
In this session we spend time exploring Chapter 11, Calm in the storm, with authors Paola Corti and Chrissi Nerantzi plus co-editor Catherine Cronin.
As an example of the innovative format of HE4Good, this chapter is a combination of an audio podcast with a reflective activity aimed at using metaphors from natural places to situate ourselves in these times.
We propose that our contribution could be used as an alternative conversation trigger, in whole or in part. The use we make of both audio and written visual language offers alternative ways to uncover and discover novel connections. The format we have chosen is an open invitation to immerse the listener and/or reader with us and our thinking and to encourage conversation. Readers/listeners can use a range of metaphors from nature and the world around you to explore, discuss and debate challenging issues and opportunities with other educators and students. The metaphors can be linked to higher education experiences and practices to better understand what is important, to see the higher education landscape with fresh eyes, and to identify and embrace positive ways forward.
The chapter is a guided discussion about the ideas of the education landscape using metaphors of Paola Corti’s photo of Valtellina valley.
We hope to have an open discussion to explore and inquire about the metaphor shared in the chapter, share our own visual metaphors, and contemplate how this activity might help more of us find the calmness in the storms that keep coming. How are metaphors useful for understanding building the better futures presented in HE4Good?
