Description

TEACHx returns to Evanston on May 18, 2022! Promoting Experiments in Teaching and LearningTEACHx sparks innovation in teaching and learning by showcasing experiments and celebrating successes in a community-oriented environment. This annual event brings together instructors, students, learning designers, and technology specialists to make connections, begin collaborations, and learn from their peers. The theme for this year is: reconnect. We will examine this theme through a lens focused on technology as well as a lens focused on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI). The questions we seek to address include: How have your remote and in-person teaching experiences informed each other?How have you continued to iterate, adapt and improve upon techniques and technologies used to create more inclusive learning environments for your students?The conference presentations and materials will include practical strategies for moving forward in the next normal of higher education. PricingTEACHx is free to Northwestern attendees. Tickets for attendees from other institutions are $50. KeynoteBeyond Theory: Bearing Witness as an Act of Love, Resistance, and Healing By Dr. Mays Imad, Assistant Professor of Biology at Connecticut College Dr. Mays Imad teaches in the biology department at Connecticut College. She is a Gardner Institute Fellow and an AAC&U Senior Fellow within the Office of Undergraduate STEM Education. Dr. Imad’s research focuses on stress, self-awareness, advocacy, and classroom community, and how these impact student learning and success. Through her teaching and research, she seeks to provide her students with transformative opportunities that are grounded in the aesthetics of learning, truth-seeking, justice, and self-realization. Outside of the classroom, Dr. Imad works with faculty members across disciplines at her own institution and across the country to promote inclusive, equitable, and contextual education–all rooted in the latest research on the neurobiology of learning. A nationally-recognized expert on trauma-informed teaching and learning, she passionately advocates for institutions to make mental health a top priority and to systematically support the education of the whole student.
