2022-2023 PAST EVENTS<\/h1>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n
\n
\n

In Spring 2023, we read Picture a Professor: Interrupting Biases about Faculty and Increasing Student Learning<\/em><\/strong>.This book aims to inspire transformative student learning while challenging stereotypes about what a professor looks like. Representing a variety of scholarly disciplines, the volume\u2019s contributing authors offer practical advice for effectively navigating student preconceptions about embodied identity and academic expertise. Each contributor recognizes the pervasiveness of racialized, gendered, and other biases about professors and recommends specific ways to respond to and interrupt such preconceptions-helping students, teachers, and others re-envision what we think of when we picture a professor.<\/p>\n

Otherwise Pedagogies LC<\/strong>

Scholars Moten and Harney describe entering the space of the undercommons as a \u2018ruptural and enraptured disclosure of the commons \u2026 where the commons give refuge, where the refuge gives commons.\u2019 (Moten and Harney, 2004) As contingent faculty (part-time, visiting, and adjunct) how do we make use of the liminal space we occupy to engender community? How do we convert these liminal spaces and ways of being in them as sites of refuge and care to inform a liberatory pedagogy? Guided by the notion of the undercommons, this Faculty Learning Community invites BIPoC contingent faculty and early scholars to come together to think through the ways in which our experiential, ancestral and lived knowledges can define our pedagogy and other aspects of our work in academe.<\/p>\n

Note-Taking and Study Skills LC<\/strong><\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
This group will explored questions related to how students prepare for class and how we can help them develop study habits suited to their goals. For instance, we considered different kinds of note-taking strategies and modalities, different roles note-taking can play in a class, and ways of helping students become more self-aware about their reading habits and approach to studying.<\/div>\n

Visioning and Teaching LC<\/strong>

hosted by Barbara Junisbai. in the past two years, Barbara has been practicing visioning in her professional and personal life, in her teaching and service, and with her organizational studies students. the process follows a \u201cbackward design\u201d model: we take a moment, in community, to name what joyful, meaningful, and fulfilling teaching (and life!) looks like for each of us. we then plot out in a playful, generous, and possibility-filled way concrete steps, resources, deadlines, and accountability structures that help us realize our vision<\/p>\n

Community-Based Teaching<\/h1>\n
\n

This second event in the series will feature a new panel of Claremont Colleges professors from across the disciplines who have taught community-based courses. Possible discussion topics include 1) how to design a community-engaged course; 2) the unique challenges of adapting existing courses in various disciplines; 3) the differences between community-engaged versus classroom-based pedagogy. Attendees will have an opportunity to workshop ideas for future or current courses. The goal of the workshop is to share experiences, introduce novices to community-based pedagogy, and form a community at the Colleges for those involved in community-based teaching.<\/p>\n
