Faculty Forum with Jordan Lacey
In this Faculty Forum, Virginia Tech Prof. Jordan Laney and her students in the Introduction to Appalachian Studies course explore community/power mapping, discuss the relationship of Freirean pedagogy with the course curricula and connect it to community engagement projects and Jordan's research more broadly.
Jordan Laney has been an active member of CCC, and is currently a Presidential Pathways Postdoctoral Teaching Fellow teaching in the Dept. of Religion and Culture, conducting research focused on gender within bluegrass, emergent alternative economies, and qualitative methods. At VT, she designed and taught the first bluegrass music courses for the humanities and a special topics course on the music of the (global) south.
Interviewers: Garland Mason, PhD student in Agricultural Leadership and Community Education; Colie Touzel, Master's student in Urban and Regional Planning
