On 19 December 2022 Iris Veerbeek led a workshop entitled 'the wild lunch'. In this workshop, Iris shares insights from the interdisciplinary research project 'Locusts and Wild Honey', focusing on wild pedagogy and sensory learning in theology, religious studies, and the humanities. The video shows how this was done and how these components are connected.
Iris Veerbeek is project coordinator Active and Blended Learning at the Faculty of Religion and Theology, Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam.
Iris was junior fellow ‘Ethics of the Anthropocene’ 2021, and is now coordinating the Locusts and Wild Honey project, a collaboration between Faculty of Religion and Theology, Faculty of Social Sciences and the Faculty of Humanities.
In this project, Iris focuses on wild pedagogies: pedagogical approaches that are about reimagining and enacting human relationships within the more-than-human world, and does this, among other things, through challenging an overabundant sense of control and reflecting on agency and the role of nature as co-teacher.
