Helen Ubiñas, The Philadelphia Inquirer
First things first: I vote to name Deesha Philyawâs debut short story collection, âThe Secret Life of Church Ladiesâ the next One Book, One Philadelphia.
And yes, Iâve already been politely informed that thereâs a committee, of which I am not a member, that decides what book the city will read together on any given year.
But to paraphrase a popular expression: Iâm columnizing it into existence. Book-lover Jesus, hear my prayer.
Thereâs a reason for my enthusiasm, and itâs not just because after more than a year of pandemic brain slogging through all kinds of great works, I opened up Philyawâs sometimes steamy book and devoured it. Like three syllable de-vou-red!
This week:
I share ideas from Susan Hrach, author of the new book
Minding Bodies: How Physical Space, Sensation, and Movement Affect Learning, for teaching in person or online.
I pass along an idea for changing your college’s teaching culture.
I link to some recent writing on teaching you may have missed.
Education, Embodied
When Susan Hrach was wrapping up her new book on the connection between physicality and learning, she figured it would be tough to get professors to adopt its recommendations for incorporating movement into their teaching. “It’s always been a very hard sell to get people to change what they had been doing for a long time,” says Hrach, director of a faculty teaching center at Columbus State University, in Georgia. And college instruction has long been identified with sitting in rows of chairs bolted to the floor and listening to a lecture.
