You could probably pick any word and make a 'Pedagogy of X' out of it; the trick is to pick a word that fits the Zeitgeist (and I'm claiming 'pedagogy of the zeitgeist' now). So we have 'pedagogy of oppression', 'critical pedagogy', 'pedagogy of hope', 'distance pedagogy', 'open pedagogy', 'pedagogy of care' and now 'pedagogy of crisis'. They all begin to blur. Consider the elements of the pedagogy of crisis, described here by Martin Weller: exercising care, resilience in course design, developing educator expertise, agile governance, and flexibility of delivery. Is there anything unique to 'crisis' here?
