“We so rarely get to step out of the classroom and really reflect on our practices as teacher,” said Flicker. “This will be such a wonderful opportunity for all of us engaged in teaching qualitative research methods to come together, learn from each other, celebrate our successes and think critically about pedagogy.”
Charlotte Lombardo is a PhD student in FES who will also present at the symposium. She said that she is excited to share her experiences of success in the classroom.
“I am really looking forward to this amazing networking opportunity,” she said. “I am excited to share what works for me in the classroom and getting inspired by other people’s practices.”
Engaged participation is a key aspect of the symposium and all who are invested in learning, sharing, skill-building and developing connections are welcome.
The symposium is sponsored by the Centre for Critical Qualitative Health Research, the Faculty of Environmental Studies at York University, the Faculty of Health at York University and the Dalla Lana School of Public Health at the University of Toronto.
It runs from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. in the Victor Phillip Dahdaleh Building (DB), Room 0001.
