The Graduate Interdisciplinary Group in Sexuality Studies and the Feminist Studies Graduate Student Association invite you to join them at: Rethinking Pedagogy in the Contemporary University: A Critical Symposium by and for Graduate Students.
Friday, April 12th
Appleby Room 103
This day-long symposium will focus on critical pedagogy and common issues facing graduate teaching assistants and instructors. Meant to be by and for graduate instructors, the panel topics arise from our own experiences and draw on the knowledge, skills, and ideas of fellow graduate instructors. We will hold six sessions throughout the day, each one taking a slightly different format, with fellow graduate students serving as the panel participants and workshop leaders.
Through this symposium, they hope to establish a common language and community for discussing critical pedagogy and graduate student instruction - one where graduate students from various academic fields and disciplines come together around the intersectional issues of race, class, gender, ability and sexuality in the classroom.
