Culturally Sustaining Pedagogies by Hannah Bergstrom https://padlet.com/hjbergstrom1/q5x2jl0p1cuvovn6 en-us 2021-03-06 03:22:42 UTC 2023-02-24 05:08:15 UTC hello@padlet.com I have been frustrated by the fact that our universities generally teach a western form of philosophy/rhetoric which means a very specific way of presenting arguments. It emphasizes the clear and forceful presentation of premises and conclusion (conclusion up front!) https://padlet.com/hjbergstrom1/q5x2jl0p1cuvovn6/wish/1277346226
Eastern philosophy/rhetoric (as an alternate example) is very different: it often values softness, subtlety, silence, and paradox. I have struggled in helping students navigate these "two selves."

It would be worthwhile for us to re-examine the criteria of these classes though and whether there's disconnect between their standards / our writing center's philosophy]]> 2021-03-06 22:47:18 UTC https://padlet.com/hjbergstrom1/q5x2jl0p1cuvovn6/wish/1277346595 Question About "How" in a Session https://padlet.com/hjbergstrom1/q5x2jl0p1cuvovn6/wish/1277347362 In light of the tensions caused by academic expectations, how would you propose implementing this in an individual one-on-one tutoring session? At the end of the day, we still need to help the students succeed in mastering the academic standards.

We often fall back on presenting SAE as "correct" or "right" and displace authority for enforcing such standards.
