Teaching in the fall semester, you don’t have to be reminded, will present more complications than in any previous semester. Faculty are required to prepare for all eventualities, as the course of the pandemic remains uncertain: That includes face-to-face, online (synchronous and asynchronous), hybrid, and “hy-flex.” The assumption is that teaching will occur in and across all modes, with some teaching from classrooms and others remotely. Our purpose here is to offer as much help as we can, without raising your anxiety level about the 47 articles you haven’t yet managed to get to.
The Global Liberal Arts Alliance (GLAA) has created a Speakers Bureau including faculty and staff from affiliated schools who have offered to speak on a set of timely issues that are of general interest across the Alliance. The list of speakers and topics can be found here. The list will be updated as new speakers are identified. Speakers can be invited to give a presentation in a class or to a student, faculty, or staff group, or could be part of a small set of speakers who, together, would offer a panel presentation providing perspectives from different parts of the world. Please contact the speaker(s) directly to make arrangements. Faculty/staff who are interested in being added to the Speakers Bureau should complete the Speakers Bureau Survey.
