Teaching & Learning Discussion: Teaching in an Election Year

Event Description 

National events, such as the upcoming election can impact students and instructors alike. What are your teaching priorities for the week of November 2? What will your students need from you, and how will you know? How can you be prepared when much is uncertain? Join a discussion-based session to ask questions, exchange ideas with colleagues, and develop a plan for your classes… . . Our conversation will begin with insights from Maria Jose Hierro, Lecturer in Political Science and Alicia Schmidt Camacho, Professor of Ethnicity, Race, and Migration and of American Studies. They will share their own thoughts and pedagogical practices and then invite others into the conversation. Participants are encouraged to come ready to contribute their own questions, challenges, and variations on practices related to teaching in an election year. Lunch will be provided. We are committed to hosting inclusive and accessible events that allow all participants to fully engage. Please contact us at faculty.teaching@yale.edu if there are ways we can support accommodations, be aware of any dietary restrictions, or for questions about inclusion.. . — Event Details: https://yaleconnect.yale.edu/rsvp?id=2274563
