Collaborative performances of and toward survival in the communication classroom and beyond: an inter-institutional performance forum

Abstract

This forum features collaborative performances comprised of graduate student and faculty contingencies representing various institutions: University of Kansas, Arizona State University, University of South Florida, and University of Denver. Drawing on lived experience through the vantage of instructor and/or of student, participants embody performances of survival in the communication classroom and beyond. In particular, participants draw on performance as a means of enhancing their approach to pedagogy using an embodied critical lens that attends to and seeks to resist the pervasive intersectional powers animating (in)formal learning environments.
