Pedagogies of Possibility

Summary

Pedagogies of Possibility (PoP) is a vibrant research group that seeks to reimagine, transform, and expand our understanding of pedagogical possibilities. Our cross-disciplinary group is keen to explore 'what if' and 'what could be' rather than merely 'what is'.

 

"Education is not just talking about what we already know; it initiates a social event of creative co-thinking, where what is unknown is revealed to us only in the presence of others" (Epstein, 2012,. p.292)

 

We are: 

  • a vibrant research community seeking to re-imagine, transform and expand our understanding of pedagogical possibilities
  • a cross-disciplinary group with a desire to explore potential questions of education concerning  'what if' and 'what could be' rather than merely 'what is'

 

We offer a public lecture series for our university and practitioner partners across our UC communities. We are building a doctoral cohort of students who share in the vision for the future of pedagogies and creative practice.
