📅 FLO Friday: What’s So “Safe” About Safe Spaces in Higher Education?
Offered by BC Campus
August 30, 2024 | 11:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m.
Educators have described their classes and institutions as “safe spaces” with increasing frequency and certainty since the 1990s. This certainty, implying that a safe space is somehow better for learning outcomes, has been widely adopted with little critical consideration of what it truly means and what is expected when an educational space is labeled “safe”.
Join us for this free one-hour FLO discussion, exploring “safe space” as an educational metaphor unconsciously communicating both explicit and implicit expectations about the nature of teaching and learning relationships.
