Emotions, Refusal and Theological Education
Mon, 30 Jun 2025 14:00 - 15:30
Join us for a presentation and discussion of a research project being led by Dr Anupama Ranawana, Postdoctoral Researcher with Common Awards Durham. During this webinar, Anupama will present the framework and idea for her project "Emotions, Refusal and Theological Education", followed by Q and A.
Dr Ranawana is a Postdoctoral Researcher in Theological Education with the Common Awards team in Durham. She has been developing a research project that she will be working on over the coming months, and is hoping as part of that project to engage with staff and students from around the TEIs. The project is still in its early stages, but Dr Ranawana will be asking such questions as, ‘What role does emotion play in the kind of learning that takes place in theological education?’ ‘What role might emotion have in signalling where learners are encountering oppressive systems and structures?’ ‘What might it mean for learners to find ways of learning and knowing that escape or refuse these systems and structures?’ and ‘What would theological education look like if we took seriously the idea that varied, unmappable lives of creative discovery – lives that escape these systems and structures – are the fundamental resource for our learning?’ This webinar will be a chance to hear how Dr Ranawana’s project is beginning to taking shape, and to help her discern how to take it forward.
