Many of you already know, that I love poetry, I have been writing it for years, and love to bring it to my students in a myriad of ways. This past year, I took my Poetry Practice experiments a step further in my teaching and learning with my nursing students in a Social Justice in Healthcare course, using it as an outlining tool for my Translational Research course, being included in the UW Teaching & Learning Showcase in April 2024, and presenting to teaching-focused faculty from around the country in Austin, TX in May 2024.
If you want to check out some of the things I worked on this year:
And what’s next?
- That collection of silly and sad poetry that I have been writing over the last 4-5 years? I submitted the manuscript for publications this Summer (Thanks for the nudge, Todd!)
- Experimenting with poetry, spoken word, mindfulness, and social justice with students and patients alike!
