Meet our International Visiting Scholar | Wajeehah Aayeshah

The Washington Center is pleased to announce that we will be hosting an international visiting scholar January 14 – February 14.

Wajeehah Aayeshah (she/her) is a Lecturer in Curriculum Design at the Arts Teaching Innovation (ATI), University of Melbourne. An academic geek, she develops meaningful learning experiences and investigates co-creation of teaching and learning. Her research explores designing safe

pedagogical spaces that are inclusive, interesting, and kind. Her current project ‘kindness in pedagogy’ explores kind academic practices. These include engaging ‘Students as Partners’, ‘joyful teaching’, and creating ‘equity-driven academic culture’. She also collaborates with artists and game designers to produce creative narratives. Her interdisciplinary publications range from research articles, book chapters, to short stories and games.

The Learning and Teaching Commons is currently seeking opportunities for Wajeehah to engage with our faculty, staff, and students. If you are interested in collaborating on a project or having Wajeehah visit your program, please contact learningandteaching@evergreen.edu. Our staff is coordinating an agenda for her visit and will provide additional details at the beginning of winter quarter.
