This workshop asks us to examine carefully a pedagogical practice widely used across disciplines: the student presentation. For what purpose do instructors ask their students to present their learning to the class? What kind of learning do we facilitate with this practice? How may we help our students prepare for their presentations? Other issues we […]

In this workshop, which includes an experiential learning exercise, we will address creative and alternative assignments that give students diverse skillsets and critical tools. We will reflect on how to scale assignments for different class sizes, pros and cons of using creative assignments, and methods of assessment that ensure grade fairness and make learning visible […]

This workshop will focus on the structure and elements of the syllabus, a document of mixed genre between a contract and a guideline. We will discuss different strategies to adapt the syllabus to various class sizes, student levels, and term lengths. Through examples, which participants are welcome to bring, we will reflect on the pros […]

The classroom can be a semipublic space that cultivates productive defamiliarization and exposure, but it can also trigger traumas and biases in students. This workshop confronts complicated questions about what makes a subject “difficult”—if so, for whom?—and different approaches toward an inclusive learning environment that demands rather than avoids rigorous thinking on highly charged issues. […]

This workshop focuses on various ways instructors can teach theory in a humanities classroom. This discussion puts pressure on the divide between primary texts and theory by asking: How can we guide students to theoretical concerns through source materials? How do we teach close reading of theoretical texts? Other topics include: addressing the inherent bias […]

In this workshop, we will address challenges and opportunities in creating an inclusive classroom for trans and gender nonconforming students. Topics include: how to facilitate discussions that allow for respectful viewpoint diversity on gender and sexuality issues, how to handle classroom conflicts stemming from transphobia or unintentional mistakes, setting boundaries for tasking trans and GNC […]

Topics of discussion include: universal design, early awareness of students’ needs, the role of the Student Disabilities […]

This workshop will consider how to support trans and gender non-conforming students in classroom settings and in the culture of your department. We will discuss best practices for making the classroom a gender inclusive space, as well as how to make meetings, workshops and other departmental events welcoming to trans and gender non-conforming people. We […]

How can we introduce theory, make it accessible to our students while remaining faithful to its nuance and complexity? Does teaching theory require a different set of pedagogical approaches? Or is it more effective to treat it as coplanar with “primary” literary and cultural texts? Finally, how might we prepare students to critique the insights […]
