Balance in Movement: Transforming Teaching Practice Through and into Scholarship
This event is part of The Scholarship of Teaching: A Workshop Series for Graduate Students.
Description
Academic work often asks us to take on multiple roles and responsibilities, which at times can seem compartmentalized or even at odds with one another. With a focus on teaching and scholarship, this workshop will consider how we can find balance between these professional activities, by identifying opportunities to move more fluidly between them. A central question will be how scholarship and teaching can mutually reinforce one another at different stages of an academic career and with different areas of specialization.
Goals
By the end of this workshop, you will be able to:
- Reflect on some of the ways in which your teaching and research are/could be mutually reinforcing;
- Describe concrete strategies for connecting teaching and scholarship in different specialist areas related to modern language studies and the humanities;
- Identify potential intersections between teaching and scholarship in your current or future professional life, and spaces where that work could be shared.
