Dans cet épisode, Marie-Paule Lory, directrice par intérim du CREFO, rencontre Emmanuelle Le Pichon, professeure agrégée à l'Université de Toronto.Emmanuelle Le Pichon est professeure agrégée au département de Curriculum, Teaching and Learning à l'Université de Toronto. Auparavant, elle a travaillé à l'Institut de linguistique de l'Université d'Utrecht aux Pays-Bas. Ses recherches portent sur le plurilinguisme en éducation. Depuis 2009, elle a dirigé plusieurs projets nationaux et internationaux sur l'inclusion des élèves issus des minorités dans l'éducation. Elle travaille en tant que consultante, chercheuse, évaluatrice et examinatrice pour plusieurs organisations et revues internationales. Elle a participé à des analyses de politiques, notamment pour la Commission Européenne (NESET II, ​​Sirius, Erasmus +) et le Migration Policy Institute (Washington DC, mai 2015). Son vif intérêt pour les politiques migratoires l'a amenée à diriger des recherches sur des questions liées à l'éducation plurilingue, en particulier sur l'éducation des élèves migrants nouvellement arrivés en Europe et au Canada et des élèves autochtones au Suriname (en collaboration avec la Rutu Foundation). En 2015, son rapport de recherche a été au centre d'un débat sur les questions liées aux migrants et à l'éducation au parlement néerlandais qui a finalement abouti à l'obtention d'une subvention de 15 millions d'euros pour soutenir les écoles primaires destinées aux élèves réfugiés en 2016. Ces dernières années, elle a siégé, entre autres, aux conseils d'administration de l'Association néerlandaise de linguistique appliquée (2012-2017), du Comité d'éthique de l'Institut de linguistique d'Utrecht (2016-2017) et de la Commission d'éducation pour les étudiants de premier cycle (2015-2016) et de deuxième cycle (2016-2017) du Département de Languages, Literature and Communication à l'Université d'Utrecht, ainsi que du Comité d'équité et du Comité d'appel académique du Graduate Department de l'Université de Toronto, OISE (2018-présent).Emmanuelle a pris la direction du Centre de recherches en éducation franco-ontarienne en 2018. Elle est actuellement en congé sabbatique jusqu'à juillet 2025. Recherche :Pédagogies plurilingues et technologies numérique pour soutenir l'apprentissage des STEM, chercheuse principale (CRSH)Cette étude vise à mettre en œuvre et à évaluer l'impact d'un programme en ligne axé sur les STEM (sciences, technologie, ingénierie, mathématiques) qui combine une interface hautement engageante avec le choix de plusieurs langues dans les régions où il y a un nombre supérieur à la moyenne d'apprenants de langues dans les écoles. Le partenariat comprend 4 universités et 3 grands partenaires communautaires. Ce partenariat cherche à élucider 1) le niveau d'engagement des étudiants dans l'apprentissage des contenus STEM, 2) la mesure dans laquelle les fonctionnalités multilingues favorisent le progrès académique, 3) la propension des étudiants à accéder aux contenus académiques en français, et 4) les expériences des enseignants quant à l'utilisation de cette technologie. Nous explorons également diverses stratégies pour soutenir les enseignants dans l'apprentissage de l'intégration des outils numériques multilingues dans le curriculum STEM, y compris le développement collaboratif de ressources. Nos résultats contribueront au développement de pratiques pédagogiques innovantes et de nouvelles politiques éducatives pour soutenir les élèves linguistiquement diversifiés au Canada et en France.Présentation des résultats : https://www.youtube.com/@TeachingSTEMtoMultilingualSs_ Les Écoles amies des langues : des pratiques pédagogiques équitable

Satisfaction in the World Before Money Lectionary Date: March 20, 2022 [3rd Sunday in Lent, Year C] This week, we're grateful to welcome Dr. Roger Nam as our guest on First Reading. Dr. Nam is Professor of Hebrew Bible and Director of the Graduate Department of Religion at Emory University. (That's homebase and training ground for Rachel, Tim, and Rosy!) A former economic analyst, pastor, and a second-generation Korean American who has lived and worked abroad in Korea, Roger's recent research focuses on the social structures and economics behind wealth and poverty in the biblical world. Today's passage from Isaiah is full of economic imagery so we're especially glad to have Roger's expertise and insight for this conversation. He's the author of Portrayals of Exchange in the Book of Kings (Brill, 2012), and he's got a number of book projects in the pipeline including commentaries (multiple!) on Ezra-Nehemiah and editing the Oxford Handbook for Wealth and Poverty. Besides his own busy research, teaching and administrative tasks, Roger is also passionate about his role as a teacher and mentor to students and learners of all kinds. He's a contributor to Working Preacher (we love them!) and a frequent collaborator with the Wabash Center for Teaching and Learning.

We chat with the renowned Jewish New Testament scholar about the themes of Tobit, its historical context, and contemporary applications. Dr. Amy-Jill Levine is University Professor of New Testament and Jewish Studies (among other things) at Vanderbilt Divinity School, Graduate Department of Religion, and Department of Jewish Studies; she is also Affiliated Professor, Woolf Institute, Centre for the Study of Jewish-Christian Relations, Cambridge UK.

Episode: In this episode Jewish scholar Amy-Jill Levine engages some of the hard words of Jesus that followers then and now have found difficult. He instructs disciples to hate members of their own families (Luke 14:26), to act as if they were slaves (Matthew 20:27), and to sell their belongings and give to the poor (Luke 18:22). He restricts his mission (Matthew 10:6); he speaks of damnation (Matthew 8:12); he calls Jews the devil's children (John 8:44). How did these words sound in their own time, and how might that impact our interpretation of difficult texts? In this episode Biblical World host Lynn Cohick engages these questions with Amy-Jill Levine and her new book The Difficult Words of Jesus: A Beginner's Guide to His Most Perplexing Teachings (Abingdon, 2021).  Guest: Amy-Jill Levine is University Professor of New Testament and Jewish Studies, Mary Jane Werthan Professor of Jewish Studies, and  Professor of New Testament Studies at Vanderbilt Divinity School, Graduate Department of Religion, and Department of Jewish Studies; she is also Affiliated Professor, Woolf Institute, Centre for the Study of Jewish-Christian Relations, Cambridge UK.

She has held office in the Society of Biblical Literature, the Catholic Biblical Association, and the Association for Jewish Studies.  She served as Alexander Robertson Fellow (University of Glasgow), and the Catholic Biblical Association Scholar to the Philippines. She has given over 500 lectures on the Bible, Christian-Jewish relations, and Religion, Gender, and Sexuality across the globe. Her books include The Misunderstood Jew: The Church and the Scandal of the Jewish Jesus (Publisher's Weekly Best Books of 2007; audio books); Short Stories by Jesus: The Enigmatic Parables of a Controversial Rabbi (Catholic Book Club; translations: Spanish, Italian; audio books); The Meaning of the Bible: What the Jewish Scriptures and the Christian Old Testament Can Teach Us (with Douglas Knight; translation: Chinese); The New Testament, Methods and Meanings (with Warren Carter); and The Gospel of Luke (with Ben Witherington III -- the first full-length biblical commentary co-authored by a Jew and an Evangelical). Her most recent book is The Bible With and Without Jesus, co-authored with Marc Z. Brettler. With Marc Brettler, she co-edited The Jewish Annotated New Testament; she is also the editor of the 13-volume Feminist Companions to the New Testament and Early Christian Writings, and The Historical Jesus in Context (Princeton Readings in Religion; translation: Japanese). Presently she is editing several volumes in the Wisdom Commentary series, and she is the New Testament editor of the new Oxford Biblical Commentary Series.

Rev. Dr. Richard Voelz, right, is interviewed by Union alumnus Darren Utley about his new book. Preachers stand up to speak each week in challenging times to unsettled congregations. Each week seems to bring a new difficult subject: mass shootings and other forms of violence; hard conversations around race, ethnicity, and multi-religious contexts; immigration; poverty; climate change; foreign and domestic terrorism; and bickering about it all on social media. Rev. Dr. Richard W. Voelz, Union Presbyterian Seminary assistant professor of preaching and worship, has authored a new book for preachers hungry for ways to envision the work of preaching in these times, as well as for tools that will help them speak to difficult and contentious topics. “Preaching to Teach: Inspire People to Think and Act” merges the related functions of preaching and teaching, and equips the reader to accomplish both. It is the newest addition to a collection called The Artistry of Preaching Series. In a divided and weary world, preachers struggle with the choice of any number of “images” to describe their preaching identity. Responding to social crisis after social crisis, preachers most often lean toward the roles of pastor, prophet, or somewhere on the spectrum in between the two. Juggling between these images and their associated roles on a week-to-week basis can be exhausting. But there is an ancient image of the preacher that may help: the preacher as teacher. The image of teacher has traditionally focused on content and rhetorical aspects of preaching: the preacher is conveying information, modeling theological reasoning, or effecting a certain pulpit style. But rather than focusing on traditional concepts of teaching to determine the content, form, style, or delivery of sermons, the field of critical pedagogy (represented by notable figures such as Paulo Freire, Henry Giroux, Peter McLaren, and bell hooks) offers a way of re-envisioning the preacher-as-teacher. Recasting the preacher-as-teacher through the lens of critical pedagogy grounds the image of teacher in an ethical framework, inviting preachers to redefine their public roles, stand in relationships of solidarity with communities of faith, break the silences of taboos, tackle tough issues, and re-imagine the world in the shape of the kingdom of God. The book is available through Abingdon Press and on Amazon. Voelz formerly served as the senior minister of the Johns Creek Christian Church (Disciples of Christ), an Open & Affirming congregation in metro Atlanta, Georgia. He has over a decade of ministry experience in various contexts. A graduate of Vanderbilt University’s Graduate Department of Religion with the Ph.D. in Homiletics and Liturgics, Voelz brings expertise and scholarly interest in contemporary homiletic theory, preaching and youth, pastoral identity, preaching in the Stone-Campbell Movement, and contemporary liturgical theology. He was interviewed about his book by Union Presbyterian Seminary alumnus Darren Utley, associate pastor of Fairfield Presbyterian Church in Mechanicsville, Virginia. 

This week is part II with the Rev. Chelsea Yarborough. Chelsea is a Ph.D. candidate at Vanderbilt in Homiletics and Liturgics in the Graduate Department of Religion. If you missed last week’s conversation I would highly recommend listening to that first episode. As one of our friend’s commented, it is completely and utterly a delicious conversation on Chelsea’s notion that "if it’s not dialogical, it’s not ethical." This second episode echoes this ethical framework - the process of homiletics and preaching should be transformative, authentic, real and vulnerable. Ya’ll this one is full of wisdom bombs again so you may have to listen to it twice!

The Rev. Chelsea Brooke Yarborough is a Ph.D. candidate at Vanderbilt in Homiletics and Liturgics in the Graduate Department of Religion. She is an ordained minister, a poet, an enneagram enthusiast, and a lover of leadership development. Her motto is "live to love and love to live each day” and is excited to continue her journey of cultivating and engaging curiosity in all that she pursues.
