SUMMARY:Navigating Charged Topics in the Classroom: A Panel of WashU Instructors
DESCRIPTION:Higher education has been said to have three core missions: research\, teaching\, and a social-political mission. But is this social-political mission really just a “third mission” on the periphery of the other two? Or should those of us who teach at universities see it as central to providing rigorous\, relevant\, engaging\, and thought-provoking education? \nThe 2024/25 academic year presents ample opportunities to address this question in practical terms\, not merely philosophical ones. As St. Louis and the nation commemorate ten years since Michael Brown’s death amid a heated election season and with global conflicts spilling onto our campuses\, faculty are compelled to rethink the social-political mission of higher education and consider ways of integrating this mission into course policies and classroom practices\, while facilitating conversations that arise from the charged current context. \nThis panel offers a unique space for a courageous conversation among faculty members who teach socially and politically charged topics. Together\, we will explore different approaches to facilitating conversations about politics and share successful policies and practices for doing so. \nPanelists:\nDewitt Campbell\, Gephardt Institute for Civic and Community Engagement\nAyala Hendin\, Jewish\, Islamic\, and Middle Eastern Studies\nCaitlin McMurtry\, Brown School\nFroggi VanRiper\, Environmental Studies \nFor questions about this panel discussion\, contact Elina Salminen. \nRegistration

SUMMARY:Science of Happiness: Joyful Teaching and Learning
DESCRIPTION:Many of us were inspired to teach at the university level because we enjoyed our own college coursework and wanted to emulate professors who brought joy to their work each day. Even the best teachers\, however\, can struggle to find happiness in their daily work\, especially as the semester wears on. During this Teaching with Joy gathering\, Tim Bono from Psychological & Brain Sciences offers perspectives from his course “The Science of Happiness\,” with discussion centered on ways we can reignite a spark of joy in our personal and professional lives. \nFor questions about this event\, contact Elina Salminen. \n  \nRegistration

SUMMARY:Polished: College\, Class\, and the Burdens of Social Mobility
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Melissa Osborne\nWashU is pleased to welcome Dr. Melissa Osborne\, Associate Professor of Sociology at Western Washington University\, to our campus to speak about first-generation and low-income students. A reception will follow Dr. Osborne’s presentation. \nPolished: College\, Class\, and the Burdens of Social Mobility\nFor low-income and first-generation students at elite schools\, college can feel like entering a whole new world. Along with academic and financial challenges\, their emotional lives also shift as they navigate different cultural and class backgrounds. These students often face a difficult choice: blend in with their peers and abandon their former lives\, or stay true to themselves\, risking isolation from other students. In this talk\, Melissa Osborne\, PhD will share insights from their book Polished\, based on interviews and ethnographic fieldwork with 150 first-generation and low-income students at 18 selective colleges and universities. Osborne reveals how the support systems meant to help these students can unintentionally reshape their identities\, often creating tension between their aspirations and their connections to family and community. Without direct institutional support\, this emotional struggle can lead to feelings of alienation\, mental health challenges\, and difficult decisions about balancing upward mobility with authenticity. \nThis event is sponsored by Here & Next. \nFor further details and registration\, please see the event listing in Happenings at WashU or contact Máire Murphy\, Project Coordinator\, Office of the Provost.

SUMMARY:Fall 2024 Faculty Reading Community (FRC)
DESCRIPTION:Join fellow faculty and CTL staff for sustained cross-disciplinary conversation on critical topics in teaching and learning. \nThe Faculty Reading Community discussions in Fall 2024 will involve chapters from Kevin Gannon’s book Radical Hope: A Teaching Manifesto. We are revisiting this popular 2020 book in order to facilitate conversations on the nature of teaching during the current social and political moment. Gannon argues that teaching is by definition emancipatory and hopeful. Taking this axiom as our starting point\, how can maximize our positive impact on our students in the classroom? \nParticipants are required to attend 4 of 5 meetings. Faculty will receive a copy of the book courtesy of the CTL. Seats are limited. \nMeeting Mode: This semester’s faculty reading community will meet in person on the Danforth campus (DUC 248).  \nMeetings will be from noon-12:50pm on the following Thursdays:\n\n\nSept 19: Chapters 1-2 (Classrooms of Death; The Things We Tell Our Students)\n\n\nOct 10: Chapters 3-4 (Cultivating Transformative Teaching; Teaching & Learning Inclusively)\n\n\nOct 17: Chapters 5-6 (Making Access Mean Something; Encouraging Choice\, Collaboration\, and Agency)\n\n\nOct 31: Chapters 7-8 (A Syllabus Worth Reading; Pedagogy Is Not A Weapon)\n\n\nNov 21: Chapters 9-10 (Platforms and Power; I Don’t Know . . . Yet.)\n\n\nThe reading community will be co-facilitated by Rick Moore\, along with faculty member Sabnam Ghosh. \nFor questions about the Faculty Reading Community\, please contact Dr. Rick Moore at rick.moore@wustl.edu. \nRegistration

SUMMARY:The Enduring Power of the Minute Paper
DESCRIPTION:In this virtual conversation we will explore the history and impact of minute papers—brief responses that ask students to reflect on what was most important in class and what questions they still have.  We will explore how these can be employed in a variety of class settings as a low effort/high impact way to assess student learning. \nFor questions about this event\, contact Eric Fournier. \nNote new time of 10:30a.

SUMMARY:Generative AI in Writing-Based Classes
DESCRIPTION:Generative AI is here to stay\, but it poses some profound questions about how to teach writing-based classes. This “workshop” is intended to be a discussion for graduate students and postdocs who teach courses where students frequently write – whether it’s final papers\, short reflections\, or discussion forum posts. We’ll discuss ideas and strategies for guiding students’ engagement with GenAI\, ranging from assignment design to steer students away from GenAI to assignments that require students to use AI. The workshop facilitator will provide examples of assignments\, but the meeting is intended to be highly collaborative\, with the goal of all participants developing and sharing ideas on this topic that is still new to many of us.

SUMMARY:Planning and Implementing Classroom Assessment Techniques
DESCRIPTION:How do you know whether students are following along during class sessions? In this workshop\, participants will practice implementing four types of classroom assessment techniques in sample scenarios\, then spend some time exploring when to deploy them and how to interpret the results of these assessments for a particular course. Finally\, there will be time for reflection on how to plan to include such techniques in a future course. \nIf you have questions about this event\, please contact Dr. Lisa Kuehne. \nRegistration

SUMMARY:Teaching & Learning in the Age of Generative AI
DESCRIPTION:With the advent of easy-to-use artificial intelligence (AI) text generation tools like ChatGPT\, educators must grapple with what these technologies mean for their course and assignment designs. In this practical session with noted author and faculty developer Derek Bruff\, we will briefly survey the landscape of AI tools for generating text and other media\, then dive into the teaching choices they present. What changes do we need to make to our learning objectives\, if any\, in light of ChatGPT and other AI tools? How can we design assignments that either leverage or minimize AI tools to meet those learning objectives? This session will feature teaching principles and examples of practice to help answer these questions as the AI landscape continues to change. \nFor questions about this event\, contact Eric Fournier. \nRegistration
