ASA Pre-Conference Workshop

Through engagement with experienced colleagues and with each other, keynotes, panels, discussions, roundtables and networking are designed 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, 2013; space is limited to 40 participants but a waiting list will be maintained. A non-refundable $60 registration fee covers conference materials, programming, and meals. Participants are expected to be Section members of the ASA Section on Teaching and Learning which sponsors this workshop. Early application is appreciated and ensures that there is space for you. The application form is available below.
