Graduate Learning and Teaching Symposium

Please join us for wine, appetizers, and conversation!

Tuesday, May 1, 2018
3:00PM - 5:00PM
John Evans Alumni Center (1800 Sheridan Rd)

We invite you to a cross-disciplinary discussion about teaching and learning led by graduate students at Northwestern.

Graduate and faculty panelists from across the disciplines will present their experiences, participate in a moderated discussion, and respond to your questions.

 

Panel Descriptions:

Teaching as Professional Development: Teaching for Now, Teaching for Later
It can be easy to focus on the week-to-week work of teaching and TAing throughout a quarter. Panelists will discuss ways to reframe that experience as professional development for a variety of career aspirations, developing approaches to teaching that can benefit your classroom now and your career later.

 

The Role of Representation in Course Design
Accounting for a diversity of experiences among students, instructors, and course materials is an essential component of course design, but can also take different forms depending on disciplines or teaching contexts. Panelists will discuss their experiences addressing questions of representation in pedagogy and scholarship in and beyond their disciplines.
