Teaching Enhancement Workshop
"The Joy of Teaching," Wednesday, August 31, 2022 - McGuire Hall
The Joy of Teaching is somewhat like the Joy of Cooking or the Joy of Parenting. Teaching can be at once messy and wonderful, difficult and deeply meaningful. We come together in anticipation of the new semester to share our joys and struggles. The program aims to help us think about the core purposes of liberal arts education, develop connections with each other, and have fun in the classroom.

Pop-ups and Continued Conversation with Harry Brighouse, Ph.D.Pop-up sessions are a way of allowing for spontaneous connections and knowledge sharing with your colleagues. Formal presentations are great, but sometimes the informal conversations that arise around topics of shared concern are the most valuable part of a conference or workshop. We have decided to create lots of space at this year's TEW for interaction with colleagues. Show up and we will help you organize yourselves!
