Upcoming Reading Groups

Minding Bodies

Minding Bodies: How Physical Space, Sensation, and Movement Affect Learning

Meets three times this semester (2/1, 2/15 & 2/29) on Thursday from 3:30-4:30 in ZSR 664 (Faculty Commons Conference Room inside the Faculty Commons space in ZSR Wilson Wing).

In Minding Bodies, Susan Hrach uses new research on the body to help instructors improve their students’ knowledge and skills through physical movement, attention to the spatial environment, and sensitivity to humans as more than “brains on sticks”. Let’s meet and talk about how we can create creative embodied, sensory-rich learning experiences that maximize the effectiveness of the time we spend learning with our students.

We will provide the book for the first 12 registrants. These discussions are very popular so we ask that you register only if you are available to attend all sessions.


Inclusive Teaching Strategies for Promoting Equity in the Classroom

Inclusive Teaching: Strategies for Promoting Equity in the College Classroom

Meets four times this semester (2/7, 2/21, 3/6 & 3/20) on Wednesday from 2:00-3:00 in ZSR 664 (Faculty Commons Conference Room inside the Faculty Commons space in ZSR Wilson Wing).

In a book written by and for college teachers, Kelly Hogan and Viji Sathy provide tips and advice on how to make all students feel welcome and included. They focus on practices such as structure in course design and interaction, including more voices in different contexts, and reflection on how you might demonstrate attention to inclusion in a teaching portfolio/dossier. Let’s meet and discuss how we might implement some of these practices into our own classrooms.

We will provide the book for the first 12 registrants. These discussions are very popular so we ask that you register only if you are available to attend all sessions.
