Upcoming Events SPRING QUARTER ROUNDTABLES Friday April 18, 12:30-2:00, CMU 202 "Teaching as Perfomance: Performativity and Authority in the Clasroom" When is an instructor like an actor? What roles do instructors play in the classroom, intentionally or not? When do performance modes enhance learning and when do they detract? How does the teacher perform authority in the classroom? Through demonstration and simulation, this workshop explores the performing instructor and how performativity and authority raise issues for the inclusive learning environment. Facilitator: David Garfinkle (School of Drama). Wednesday May 7, 3:30-5:00, CMU 226 "Politics in the Classroom" What is the place of "politics" in the classroom? And whose politics? The political/left bias in higher education has been recently critiqued by right-leaning David Horowitz and the Students for Academic Freedom (SAF). These critiques are often dismissed as empty right-wing rhetoric. However, they have also gained traction in some circles, making it essential for college-level educators to understand the arguments and thoughtfully consider how "politics" are manifest in the classroom. This workshop will facilitate a lively discussion of classroom power and pedagogical practice. Facilitator: Sheryl Cunningham (Communication). PP RESEARCH: TEACHING AND TECHNOLOGY Update: Practical Pedagogy Research has submitted a proposal to the 2008 CIDR Annual Teaching and Learning Symposium: "Across the Disciplines: Strategies for Teaching Cyber-Savvy."
