About Our Kitchen

What is a global university pedagogy in and for the 21st century? How can it be more attentive to questions of power, authority, and agency?

How might it address questions of multilingualism and linguistic diversity of faculty and students? What are some distinctive approaches to teaching expository and creative writing? What role can translation play as a means of reaching across language, culture and media? How might curricula better represent historically marginalized communities, languages and cultures?

This kitchen seeks to answer these important questions by proposing three complementary projects, each centered on critical topics in writing, languages, and pedagogy.
