摘要

这篇反思性文章通过个人经历的视角,探讨了爱在高等教育中的作用,包括作为一名教育工作者面对悲剧和绝望的情况。借鉴小马丁-路德-金博士和詹姆斯-鲍德温的哲学思想,以及同事和学生的见解,我认为爱不仅仅是一种情感状态,而是一种能够带来有意义的、可持续的变化的变革力量。爱可以作为教学环境中的一个重要元素,为正义、公平和社区福祉提供一个框架。我为教育工作者在与学生和同事的互动中有意识地培养爱的文化提出了几条切实可行的建议。这些建议包括自我保健和设定界限,以及将爱融入课程设计和社区建设。文章认为,将爱作为一种积极的力量,可以提供一种新的目标感,尤其是在集体创伤和不确定的时期。此外,文章还强调,爱可以成为应对影响教育者和学生的挑战的必要反作用力,最终成为变革教育的基石。通过在学术环境中培养爱,我们可以实现个人和集体的愈合,丰富整体教育体验。在大流行病、种族灭绝、气候灾难和政治分裂等全球性危机发生之后,这篇文章断言,爱仍然是一种持久的力量,它能使我们在高等教育中建立一个更加公正和更具复原力的社区。

Love matters: embracing love as the heart of higher education
This reflective essay explores the role of love in higher education through the lens of personal experiences, including confronting situations of tragedy and hopelessness as an educator. Drawing on the philosophies of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and James Baldwin, as well as insights from colleagues and students, I argue that love is not simply an emotional state but a transformative force capable of effecting meaningful, sustainable change. Love can serve as a vital element in pedagogical settings, providing a framework for justice, equity, and communal wellbeing. I offer several practical recommendations for educators to intentionally cultivate a culture of love in their interactions with students and colleagues. These range from self-care and setting boundaries to integrating love into course design and community building. The essay suggests that embracing love as an active force can provide a renewed sense of purpose, particularly in times of collective trauma and uncertainty. Further, it highlights that love can be the necessary counterforce to the challenges affecting both educators and students, ultimately serving as the cornerstone for transformative education. By fostering love in academic settings, we enable both individual and communal healing, enriching the overall educational experience. In the wake of global crises like pandemics, genocides, climate disaster, and political divisiveness, the essay asserts that love remains the enduring force that can empower us to build a more just and resilient community in higher education.
