Current events and the prevailing political climate in the US compel us to confront these issues head on. This workshop will look at how these external events come […]

In this workshop, we will begin by discussing what a philosophy of teaching statement is and is not, both speaking generally and by reading a selection of anonymized statements from a range of disciplines. Since a statement is increasingly required of ABD students and recent graduates on the job market, we will spend time workshopping […]
