Episode 5: Compassionate learning and teaching

This episode features host Dr Elliott Spaeth from Advance HE discussing compassionate pedagogy with Dr Claire Killingback (University of Hull) and Rosie Jones (Teesside University).
They explore what compassion means in higher education: recognising student distress, responding proactively, supporting wellbeing, and seeing students as whole people. The conversation addresses pushback against compassion from staff worried about workload and boundaries, and discusses how institutions can embed compassion into policies and processes.
Key themes include the importance of listening, avoiding rigid boundaries whilst maintaining professional roles, co-creating supportive frameworks with students, and extending compassion to staff as well as students.
