Professor Auerswald uses a variety of theoretical frameworks, such as the Social Determinants of Health, Critical Race Theory, Intersectionality, the Ecological Model, and theories of stigma, to inform students’ perspectives and approaches to addressing homelessness and ‘housism’ in surrounding local communities.</p> <p><br></p>

The Urban Experience: Race, Class, Gender and the American City featuring Brandi Summers
<p><a href="https://americancultures.berkeley.edu/about/episode-4-urban-experience-race-class-gender-and-american-city">Full Episode Transcript: https://americancultures.berkeley.edu/podcast/ep-4-urban-experience</a></p> <p><br></p> <p>In this episode, the UC Berkeley Pedagogy Podcast team features Brandi Summers, a Professor in the Department of Geography at UC Berkeley. Professor Summers shares with us the philosophy that “the diverse teaching tools and strategies created in the class are part of my commitment to engaged pedagogy, which has developed based on the presumption that classrooms are spaces that hold promise for radical change and growth within and outside the classroom. As an engaged teacher, she asks that both she and her students take risks to see themselves and their lives as part of the critical process of inquiry, to be vulnerable enough to ask hard questions, and to see the world from different, and sometimes contradictory, points of view.” In 2022, Professor Summers received UC Berkeley’s American Cultures Excellence in Teaching Award (ETA).</p> <p><br></p> <p>The ETA recognizes faculty teaching a UC Berkeley American Cultures course for their inspiring and sustained commitment to creating a learning space that, among other things, includes addressing the multivocality of America’s diverse social fabric, the scales of geographic assemblage which support political and economical ways of being, the often contested nature of the political nation and the intersectional vectors that operate through everyday life. In the words of one of Professor Summers’ nominees, “Brandi’s teaching has been a critical resource for the university, especially as it has sought to understand and respond to the challenges of racial disparities over the past two years.”</p> <p><br></p>

Worldings: Regions, Peoples, and States
<p>Full episode transcript: <a href="https://americancultures.berkeley.edu/about/berkeley-pedagogy-podcast/episode-3-worldlings-regions-peoples-and-states" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">https://americancultures.berkeley.edu/about/berkeley-pedagogy-podcast/episode-3-worldlings-regions-peoples-and-states</a></p> <p><br /></p> <p>"Heck, my major is math, and I've barely taken any humanities classes in my life, but this sure was worth it." So states one student reflecting on their time in Dr. Jake Kosek's American Cultures course, Geography 10AC. Drawing students from across the disciplinary spectrum, and for many their first experience of a Geography classroom, the unifying theme of the class is the contested relations, practices, and processes in the making of central geographic concepts (empire, space, nature, and dispossession), concepts that often go unexamined and yet are deeply woven into the fabric of our lives. Geography's central concepts pepper the pages of newspapers almost every day –in stories of structural racism, immigration policies, international finance capital, the military industry, genetic engineering, global warming, natural disasters, surveillance, poverty, and terrorism. The conceptually capacious and literally global scale of the course is grounded in the intentional relationships created by Jake and the teaching team. A 'politics of care' pervades the student experience, fostering close listening and the unicorn of safe and brave spaces for deep study.</p> <p>Dr. Jake Kosek, a faculty member at UC Berkeley's Department of Geography, was honored in November 2021 as one of the recipients of the 2021 American Cultures Excellence in Teaching Award. </p>
