Volume 1 in the TEACHING, ENGAGING, AND THRIVING IN HIGHER ED series

A Pedagogy of Kindness
By Catherine J. Denial

Part manifesto, part teaching memoir, part how-to guide, A Pedagogy of Kindness urges higher education to get aggressive about instituting kindness, which Denial distinguishes from niceness. Having suffered beneath the weight of just “getting along,” instructors need to shift every part of what they do to prioritizing care and compassion—for students as well as for themselves.
