ASA Pre-Conference Seminar

The ASA Section on Teaching and Learning Pre-Conference Seminar, "The Best Teachers We Can Be: Learning Scholarly Teaching", will be held from 8:00am to 5:00pm on Friday August 13, 2010.

Designed for newer teachers of sociology, this faculty development opportunity provides knowledge, resources, modeling of good practices, and inspiration. Throughout a day of engagement with experienced colleagues and with each other, mini-workshops, keynotes, panels, discussions, roundtables and networking are structured to provide an integrated learning experience grounded in the scholarship of teaching and learning. We invite colleagues at the earlier stages of their teaching careers who are particularly dedicated to the science and art of teaching sociology to become part of this community of scholarly teachers.

Acceptances are made on a rolling basis but we would appreciate applications and registration fees no later than June 15, 2010; space is limited. A $60 registration fee covers conference materials, snacks, and Section membership. Early submission is appreciated and ensures that there is space for you. The application form is available here.

A separate process for travel grants sponsored by Pine Forge Press is also available, and information is posted on the Section website and at www.pineforge.com. The deadline for travel applications is March 12th.

Contact the Seminar's organizer, Diane Pike, for more information.
