Scholarly Reflections on Teaching

Scholarly Reflections on Teaching

Scholarly Reflections on Teaching is a faculty speaker series that asks individual faculty to unpack the various sources — disciplinary expertise, careful observation of student learning, scholarship on teaching, attentiveness to their own experience, etc. — that inform their pedagogical practice and spur creative experimentation in teaching. Each year, the CTE partners with different campus stakeholders to bring together speakers on a particular theme.

2025-2026: Teaching to Inspire Changemakers 

During the 2025-2026 school year, the CTE is partnering with the Schiller Institute for Integrated Science and Society to feature faculty reflections on “Teaching to Inspire Changemakers.” Addressing student desires to “make a difference” and to affect change in society, industry, and scholarship, faculty  in a variety of disciplines will discuss how they aim to prepare students to: 1.) draw on disciplinary methods and expertise to articulate and better understand the context and substance of the challenges they are seeking to address; and  2.) discover how they can harness that expertise to be agents of meaningful change.
