Our November Workshop

  • The Teaching Sociology Workshop will be this Friday from 4-6 on Zoom or in person in the sociology lounge.

    The topic is: “The Syllabus: Writing, Revising, Reflecting”

    Our recommended reading is
    Sulik, Gayle, and Jennifer Keys. 2014. “‘Many Students Really Do Not Yet Know How to Behave!’: The Syllabus as a Tool for Socialization.” Teaching Sociology 42(2):151–60. doi:10.1177/0092055X13513243(https://doi.org/10.1177/0092055X13513243).

    We are delighted to say that Jennifer Keys will be joining us for part of the session. This is not a presentation of the article, which is now 11 years old (but very much worth reading), but a chance to talk with her about her thinking and experiences. More about Jennifer here https://searle.northwestern.edu/about/staff-grad-postdoc/jennifer-keys.html .
    She is currently Senior Director of the Searle Center for Advancing Learning and Teaching at Northwestern.

    A more recent article from Jennifer is “The Creative Course as a Lever for Senior Faculty Connection.” We envision this workshop as for sociology faculty and doctoral students at all levels of teaching experience.

    We invite everyone to bring something to share, whether a current syllabus or, for those who haven’t taught before, an idea about a class you might want to teach. There will also be time for general discussion and mentoring.
