Adam Fenster)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Tanya Bakhmetyeva \u201906 (PhD) doesn\u2019t view herself as merely a teacher. She\u2019s part of a team, using a feminist pedagogical framework to create a classroom where students are equal contributors.<\/p>\n<p>Each person shares and learns.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTeaching can be boring if you\u2019re not learning from it all the time,\u201d says Bakhmetyeva, associate professor of instruction gender, sexuality, and women\u2019s studies at the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sas.rochester.edu\/gsw\/\">Susan B. Anthony Institute for Gender, Sexuality, and Women\u2019s Studies<\/a> and a recipient this year of a Goergen Award for Excellence in Undergraduate Teaching. \u201cI want to be a participant in the knowledge production process. I want a classroom that\u2019s truly liberatory, and part of that is empowering students. To do that, a teacher needs to be willing to give some power back to students.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>And to share personal moments from her own life, which began in Russia, then the dominant republic within the Soviet Union. Bakhmetyeva grew up in a small military village near Moscow. By the time she entered Moscow State University to study medieval Scandinavian history in the early 1990s, the Soviet Union had dissolved. \u201cIt was a very exciting but difficult time,\u201d she says. \u201cChanges were happening right before our eyes. I was a student of history, and we had no textbooks when I entered college. The old textbooks had become obsolete, and the new ones hadn\u2019t been written.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"side-right\">\n<h3>What students are saying<\/h3>\n<p>\u201cThere was never a dull moment in class. She captivates her students with her critical thinking skills, has an ability to listen to different opinions, and is always willing to learn from her students. Her unwavering support is one of the reasons I love the Susan B. Anthony Institute. She always made time for her students and is the epitome of what a professor should strive to be\u2014an intelligent fearless leader with a heart of gold.\u201d<br \/>\n<strong>\u2014Sadyn Angeles \u201919<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cOne of the things that stood out to me was the diligence and grace with which she handled hard topics being discussed in class. She made sure that information was shared, but all voices were heard with dignity and without fear. In one class, she took us on a hiking trip in the Adirondack Park. I had not been a hiker until then, but because of the way she presented the material and motivated me, I took the challenge. I have ever since become a hiker and closer to nature. She has been a great role model and someone whom I aspire to be both in academia and as a person.\u201d<br \/>\n<strong>\u2014Bruno Sacatucua \u201919<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cGender studies is at once an academic subject and a personal journey. Tanya understood this and executed a delicate balance between professionalism and vulnerability, often would sharing her own experiences. Because of this approach, she cultivated a sense of trust with her students. She endlessly encouraged her students to explore their thoughts and push the boundaries of their learning. She listened intently to every voice, even from those who did not often speak up in class. She has made an insurmountable difference to her students and community.\u201d<br \/>\n<strong>\u2014Jacqueline Tran \u201918<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Bakhmetyeva says the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991 spurred her deep interest in Catholicism. \u201cIt left an ideological vacuum in the lives of many people,\u201d she says. \u201cI was studying western monastic traditions in college at the time, so spiritual and academic interests converged. Becoming a Catholic was an odd thing to do, as Russia is mostly Orthodox.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>More than two decades later, in 2017, she published <em>Mother of the Church: Sophia Svechina, the Salon, and the Politics of Catholicism in Nineteenth Century Russia and France<\/em>. It received the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rochester.edu\/newscenter\/tanya-bakhmetyeva-awarded-prize-for-best-catholic-biography-355272\/\">2018 Harry C. Koenig Book Prize<\/a> for best Catholic biography. \u201cThe research was connected to my own experiences,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n<p>Bakhmetyeva graduated from Moscow State in 1996 and moved to the United States, beginning her doctoral program in modern European history at Rochester a year later. She earned her degree in 2006 and was hired as assistant director of what is now the Writing, Speaking, and Argument Program. In 2011, she joined the Anthony Institute, where she is the only fulltime faculty member.<\/p>\n<p>In recent years, she has pursued community-engaged and experiential courses, working closely with the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rochester.edu\/college\/cetl\/\">Center for Excellence in Teaching and Learning<\/a> and the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rochester.edu\/college\/rccl\/\">Rochester Center for Community Leadership<\/a>. In the Politics of Nature, students explore environmental justice and unequal access to the outdoors, visiting local urban farms and hiking in Adirondack Park. \u201cStudents get a sense of empowerment when we spend six hours climbing Algonquin Peak (the second highest mountain in New York State at 5,114 feet) and then find ourselves on top of it,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n<p>She also developed and co-teaches Food Matters: Gender, Ethnicity, Religion, and Consumerism with Heather Layton, senior lecturer of art. In this course, students examine the significance of food from personal and global perspectives and cook food with community partners. As a final research project, the students collaborate on a cookbook illustrating their research, reflection, and invention.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGender studies is a field of study that comes from several different impulses\u2014research, theory, and activism,\u201d Bakhmetyeva says. \u201cCommunity engagement for me was a tool at first, to bring this element of activism. But then it became a real personal commitment. Our University can make such a difference in the community, and the community can make such a difference at this University. And experiential learning is based on the belief that students learn best when they involve all kinds of senses.<\/p>\n<p>Layton marvels at the many caps Bakhmetyeva wears in the classroom. \u201cShe is simultaneously a critical professor, an inspiring coach, and a member of their team,\u201d Layton says.<\/p>\n<p>Bakhmetyeva is also co-leading an ongoing research collaboration called the Climate Witness Project, which has taken several Rochester students to the Trans-Himalayan region of Ladakh, India, to study climate change in an area that has been devastated by catastrophic flooding, glacial recession, and endemic drought. Her partners are her husband, Stewart Weaver, a professor in Rochester\u2019s history department, and anthropologist Nancy Perini Chin \u201993 (MPH) \u201998 (PhD), an associate professor of public health at the Medical Center.<\/p>\n<p>Bakhmetyeva admits she was in \u201can utter state of panic\u201d last March when the COVID-19 pandemic forced the University to go to all distance learning. \u201cWe were in the middle of a semester, and a sense of community and trust is so important in my classes because we constantly discuss very sensitive issues,\u201d she says. \u201cI spent so much time building that community in the classroom, and suddenly it was completely disrupted.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She credits the University\u2019s library and information technology staff with providing the tools and training to succeed in online teaching, but she also improvised to secure the trust she had built with her students. She met one-on-one with each via Zoom, asking how to make the reinvented class work best. \u201cWith in-person learning, you feed off each other\u2019s energy and can easily get through a three-hour class,\u201d she says. \u201cRemote learning is more exhausting. It\u2019s less energizing because the energy of the room isn\u2019t there. It\u2019s taught me to be a more caring, attentive, and flexible instructor.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Bakhmetyeva is teaching both in-person and remotely this semester and, true to form, has stayed connected with students whenever possible. \u201cWhen the weather is nice, I get a couple of folding chairs and take them outside,\u201d she says. \u201cWe sit on the quad masked, the appropriate social distance, and we discuss classes in person. It\u2019s so important to stay connected.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rochester.edu\/newscenter\/professors-from-ase-recognized-for-excellence-in-undergraduate-teaching-458292\">Read about the other recipients of this year&#8217;s Goergen Award<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The associate professor of gender, sexuality, and women\u2019s studies believes in empowering students through experiential learning.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":672,"featured_media":458112,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[486,33872,16072,32922,37162],"class_list":["post-458102","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized","tag-awards","tag-goergen-award-for-excellence-in-undergraduate-teaching","tag-school-of-arts-and-sciences","tag-susan-b-anthony-institute-for-gender-sexuality-and-womens-studies","tag-tanya-bakhmetyeva"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.5 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Tanya Bakhmetyeva is a teacher and teammate in the classroom<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"The associate professor of gender, sexuality, and women\u2019s studies at Rochester believes in empowering students through experiential learning\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.rochester.edu\/newscenter\/tanya-bakhmetyeva-is-teacher-and-teammate-in-classroom-458102\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Tanya Bakhmetyeva is a teacher and teammate in the classroom\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"The associate professor of gender, sexuality, and women\u2019s studies at Rochester believes in empowering students through experiential learning\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.rochester.edu\/newscenter\/tanya-bakhmetyeva-is-teacher-and-teammate-in-classroom-458102\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"News Center\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2020-10-22T11:25:54+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/www.rochester.edu\/newscenter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/fea_goergen_award_bakhmetyeva.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"1000\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"600\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Jim Mandelaro\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Jim Mandelaro\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"6 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\\\/\\\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"Article\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.rochester.edu\\\/newscenter\\\/tanya-bakhmetyeva-is-teacher-and-teammate-in-classroom-458102\\\/#article\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.rochester.edu\\\/newscenter\\\/tanya-bakhmetyeva-is-teacher-and-teammate-in-classroom-458102\\\/\"},\"author\":{\"name\":\"Jim Mandelaro\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.rochester.edu\\\/newscenter\\\/#\\\/schema\\\/person\\\/35537746af700f24d7e52e350d95b124\"},\"headline\":\"Tanya Bakhmetyeva \u201906 (PhD) is a teacher and teammate in the classroom\",\"datePublished\":\"2020-10-22T11:25:54+00:00\",\"mainEntityOfPage\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.rochester.edu\\\/newscenter\\\/tanya-bakhmetyeva-is-teacher-and-teammate-in-classroom-458102\\\/\"},\"wordCount\":1301,\"image\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.rochester.edu\\\/newscenter\\\/tanya-bakhmetyeva-is-teacher-and-teammate-in-classroom-458102\\\/#primaryimage\"},\"thumbnailUrl\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.rochester.edu\\\/newscenter\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2020\\\/10\\\/fea_goergen_award_bakhmetyeva.jpg\",\"keywords\":[\"awards\",\"Goergen Award for Excellence in Undergraduate Teaching\",\"School of Arts and Sciences\",\"Susan B.
