How should higher education make good on the promise of learning?

The conference Crucial Conversations in Teaching and Learning, May 1 and 2 on the UWindsor campus, will provide a forum for administrators, instructors, students, and others to engage in conversations exploring the forces driving change in the post-secondary sector and the resulting tensions around purpose, pedagogy, curriculum, and evaluation.

Conferees will explore the practices, research, theories, and philosophies underlying:

• teaching and assessment methods;
• curriculum development;
• conflict and controversy in the academy;
• evaluation of teaching;
• Indigenization of the curriculum; and
• purposes of higher education. 

Organizers have called for submissions by Feb. 25 in the following formats:

• 90-minute workshops;
• 40-minute concurrent sessions;
• 40-minute facilitated conversations;
• 15-minute paper presentations; or
• poster presentations.
