Consent as an embodied practice in the classroom

In this episode of the Teaching Matters podcast, we speak with Dr Nina Burrowes, a psychologist and founder of the Consent Collective, an organisation that works with communities and institutions in helping navigate the complex terrain of consent and sexual violence. The Consent Collective has been working closely with the University of Edinburgh for over four years by providing expert psycho-education content and support in creative ways, including gameshow podcasts, panel events, cooking shows and more. In this first episode of a three-part series, Dr Burrowes explores how consent is an embodied practice and ways of inviting bodies into the classroom. Dr Burrowes also shares insights about trauma-informed teaching, which is one of many research-based approaches for acknowledging trauma in teaching practices.
