The Freedom Dreaming pedagogy tool featured at this event was collaboratively developed by the Global Arts + Humanities and the Ohio Prison Education Exchange Project (OPEEP)
The Center for Feminist Research, Education and Engagement (FREE Center) is excited to announce its fall 2024 kick-off event, "Imagine New Worlds: Using the Freedom Dreaming Pedagogy Tool." On Thursday, Aug. 29, from 3 to 5 p.m., faculty, staff, and graduate students are invited to join the FREE Center as we launch into a new semester with a focus on feminist collaboration across campus and throughout the community.
The event, which will take place at Thompson Library, 11th floor, will begin with a reception and brief remarks from the FREE Center Advisory Board. Additionally, attendees will have the opportunity to learn more about the work being done by the Research and Connection Clusters and graduate students who received FREE Center funding during the spring 2024 semester. Following the reception, attendees are invited to participate in a special pedagogy workshop, which will delve into the theme of Freedom Dreaming.

Pedagogy Workshop: Imagine New Worlds
Join the FREE Center for a pedagogy workshop facilitated by OPEEP Faculty Directors, Dr. Mary Thomas and Dr. Tiyi Morris.
The Global Arts + Humanities Discovery Theme (GAHDT) and the Ohio Prison Education Exchange Project (OPEEP) developed a Freedom Dreaming pedagogy tool last academic year. The tool prompts participants to consider harms, their impacts, and strategies for creating pathways to new worlds.
Join OPEEP Faculty Directors as they guide FREE Center affiliates through the tool’s uses and creative potential for classroom discussion, collaboration with colleagues and community partners, and research. The workshop will include hands-on experimentation with the tool and conversation about other potential uses, including through your own pedagogical practices and tools.
