Join us for a discussion of feminist pedagogy, or teaching in ways that are informed by the feminist valuing of community, diversity, experience, empowerment, and a collaborative construction of knowledge.  Panelists and participants will share how they implement these approaches in a variety of disciplines and course types, and what both instructors and students gain from these experiences.

Panelists are:

• Rory Dicker, Associate Director, Women’s & Gender Studies
• Julia Fesmire, Senior Lecturer, English, Women’s & Gender Studies
• David Rubin, Senior Lecturer, Women’s & Gender Studies

Facilitator: Nancy Chick,  CFT Assistant Director
Date & Time: Tuesday, October 2 4:10-5:30pm
This workshop will be held at the Center for Teaching.

Conversations on Teaching focus on emergent teaching and learning issues in an informal, discussion-based format.  These sessions provide members of the Vanderbilt teaching community a chance to share their teaching experiences and learn from each other. Conversations on Teaching typically begin with opening remarks from panelists and then open up to larger group discussions.

Fall 2012 Conversations on Teaching include:

• Going Public with Teaching Evaluations
• Feminist Pedagogies
• Teaching with Blogs – It’s Not About Sharing What You Had for Breakfast
