Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Cultural Competence Isn’t One-Size-Fits-All: Talking culturally responsive teaching with Dr Remy Low

Q: How do you approach mindfulness in classrooms to avoid it becoming tokenistic or stressful?

Mindfulness should be defined as awareness of self, others, and the environment, practiced in multiple ways beyond traditional sitting meditation, and integrated with attention to the social and cultural context to avoid adding stress or being imposed as a rigid system.

Cultural Competence Isn’t One-Size-Fits-All: Talking culturally responsive teaching with Dr Remy Low

Q: What does cultural competence mean to you?

Cultural competence means recognizing that our behaviors, worldviews, and ways of knowing come from our specific cultural backgrounds, and then opening ourselves to other people's practices and perspectives to work toward common educational ends.

Yingyi Ma, "Ambitious and Anxious: How Chinese College Students Succeed and Struggle in American Higher Education" (Columbia UP, 2020)

Q: Could you sketch out the four main pathways by which Chinese students come to the United States and how these pathways shape outcomes and access?

The guest outlines four pathways: (1) completing the entire Chinese K-12 public system; (2) international divisions within Chinese public schools; (3) international/private schools; (4) American high schools/boarding schools in the US, discussing stratification, costs, language needs, and implications for access and preparation.

Yingyi Ma, "Ambitious and Anxious: How Chinese College Students Succeed and Struggle in American Higher Education" (Columbia UP, 2020)

Q: So what first drew you to the study of Chinese undergraduates in the US and how did your own trajectory differ from these younger generations?

The host asks about the research motivation and the speaker explains the shift from the older generation's context to a newer, more diverse set of backgrounds; the aim is to understand who these students are, why they come, and how their backgrounds influence their experiences in the US.

Flower Darby, "The Joyful Online Teacher: Finding Our Fizz in Asynchronous Classes" (U Oklahoma Press, 2026)

Q: What are the five main chapters of the book and how do they guide instructors to Finish Strong?

The five chapters are Setting Up for Success, Creating the Atmosphere, Connecting with Students, Eliciting Productive Emotions, and Finishing Strong. They guide instructors from initial course setup, to building warmth and rapport, to sustaining emotional engagement, promoting persistence through intrinsic motivation, and finally ensuring a meaningful end-of-course experience for both students and instructors.
