Heterodox Academy Celebrates Final Flexible Funding Opportunity Grant Recipients
“Engaging with Netflix's series "The Chair" the Heterodox Way: A Guide for Moving Forward”
Terry Newman, Course Lecturer, McGill Writing Centre, McGill University and
Andy Sellwood, Instructional Associate, Vancouver Community College | HxCanada
HxA awarded Newman and Sellwood an FFO grant for their project to turn the Netflix series The Chair into a plug-and-play tool with a lecture guide for the HxA community. The tool uses select scenes from the series to open discussions that encourage a playful, distanced exploration of the potential tensions that can exist on campus among professors, students, and administrators. It introduces and models a constructive dialogue format that encourages participants to exercise charity and humility when encountering different viewpoints.
The HxCommunities Flexible Funding Opportunity was made possible through the support of a grant from the John Templeton Foundation. The opinions expressed by funded programs, projects, or events are those of the individual Grantees, organizers, speakers, presenters, and attendees of such events/activities and do not necessarily reflect the views of Heterodox Academy and/or the John Templeton Foundation.
