Description
Brad explores how the use of authentic research pedagogies can transform writing classrooms into spaces that cultivate empathic writers who focus on the conceptualization, development, and implementation of multidimensional, ethically grounded, and socially transformative research projects. Reflecting on current approaches to topic development and research writing in their own classes, attendees will interrogate how nuanced research pedagogies offered as part of this presentation may advance students’ capacity for empathy within and beyond the classroom, and participants will consider how research-based writing courses offer ideal spaces for cultivating a heightened empathic awareness among students in writing courses.
Brad Campbell currently serves as Interventionist and ESL Specialist at White Pine County School District in Ely, Nevada.

Specifically, he is interested in the intersection between writing and culture and students' formation of writerly identities.
