Praxis Series: Leadership, Agency, and Curricular Change

“Praxis” can be described as practice that is informed by theory, research, and reflection. This Praxis Series will feature speakers from the Rady Faculty of Health Sciences who have undertaken scholarship that has informed their own practice as educators. Speakers will share an overview of their scholarship and describe how this work has influenced their own pedagogies, practices, and processes. Presentations will be followed by a moderated Q&A to explore how this scholarship might apply more broadly to the field of health professions education.

From her research on educational leadership in curriculum change, Joanne will discuss how educators establish and enact an informal leadership in and for curriculum change.  Using this lens, we will discuss how this knowledge can help educators engage in their own pedagogic leadership practice in our complex academic health sciences context.

Guest Speaker: Dr. Joanne Hamilton, Director, Office of Innovation and Scholarship in Medical Education

Zoom link will be sent to attendees prior to the session.
