CETLI Events Calendar

All graduate students are welcome. This event grows out of concerns in the Anthropology department, and so may be most useful to students in related fields. Counts toward the CETLI Teaching Certificate.

Expand your teaching repertoire and boost your job market appeal! Join us for an insightful workshop on mastering the art of teaching history courses outside your primary subfield. In this session, you’ll learn effective strategies for quickly gaining a solid understanding of new historical subjects, allowing you to confidently teach a wide range of courses. […]

In this interactive workshop, we will explore the multi-layered concept of identity in teaching, learning, and professional development. We will examine both ascribed identities (those assigned to us by others) and avowed identities (those we define for ourselves), and how these shape our experiences as educators and as students. We will discuss impostor syndrome, its […]

In this workshop, we discuss the "Questions First" teaching philosophy of Prof. Jérémie Lumbroso. Centering student questions has many benefits, including helping students build their confidence and critical thinking skills, as well as naturally helping make attendance to class seem valuable. We explore concrete strategies for enacting such a philosophy — with considerations such as […]

Does one build confidence in the classroom as one moves from graduate student to postdoc to assistant professor? What hurdles present themselves at every phase? What is (and should be) the relationship between “expert knowledge” and teaching? In this discussion, Prof. Lopez will outline the arc of her teaching experience—from graduate student TA to postdoc […]

In this workshop, we discuss considerations when designing course materials for computer science classes, through the lens of Prof. Benjamin Pierce's experiences with developing the Software Foundations textbook series. We focus in particular on literate programs — that is, documents that can both be read as text and executed as code — and examine how this medium lends itself […]

The title of this workshop is based on Nao Matsukata's December 2023 New York Times op-ed, “How Studying the Humanities Helps Humanity,” in which Matsukata argued, “In a time of immense technological change, war, and political division, nothing is more important than having the intellectual confidence to challenge what you see, hear, and read with thoughtful questions. […]

Advanced quantitative classes present massive barriers to entry for even quantitative students. That has not prevented Dr. Peter Fader’s “Applied Probability Models in Marketing” course from becoming one of the most enduringly popular, and consistently challenging, courses among undergraduates and MBAs in Wharton. This workshop will cover how Dr. Fader designed his course, as well […]

Theory is intimidating, regardless of how familiar one might be with it. What can we do to make it accessible—if not also exciting—for our undergraduate students? This graduate student workshop will tackle how to teach theory in the undergraduate classroom, focusing specifically on the role theory plays in discussion-based or seminar-style classes. All graduate students […]
