Finding learning amidst the maelstrom: Storytelling, trauma, and hope

Abstract

AbstractWe are living through a time of uncertainty and change in which our educational priorities can be re‐ordered. A time during which what it means to teach and learn in theology and religious studies can be a vivid and powerful resource to our wider contexts. We are living in a time of context collapse. Narrative is one key route to engaging and sharing context. Pedagogy during this time must be trauma‐informed. Our work in higher education needs to be about igniting curiosity, curating appropriate materials, and sharing practices rather than about covering content.
