Registration: SoTL Seminar 2026 - Center for Teaching and Learning

Overview

Registration is now open for the graduate student and postdoc Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL) Seminar!

The Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL) seminar is designed to support graduate students and postdocs who are interested in deepening their involvement in and understanding of educational research.

SoTL is a field of study dedicated to systematic and reflective inquiry of the effects of one’s teaching practices on student learning. SoTL incorporates knowledge from educational and cognitive psychology research, and it leads to the dissemination of new knowledge.

Through biweekly synchronous meetings over Zoom and participating in asynchronous content during the Spring 2026 semester, participants in the SoTL seminar will gain exposure to SoTL research from varied disciplines, design a SoTL project, and engage in conversation and build relationships with other seminar attendees. Learn more about the seminar and see descriptions of projects designed by past participants on the seminar’s main page.

The SoTL Seminar is open to advanced graduate students and postdocs at WashU. Interested graduate students and postdocs are highly encouraged to discuss their interest with a member of the Center for Teaching and Learning staff to ensure that the SoTL seminar will be the best fit for their needs.

The biweekly synchronous meetings will be on Thursdays, 12-12:50pm starting on January 22nd, 2026 and will continue throughout the Spring semester.
