The latest volume of Teaching Citational Practice, “Citation as Pathway: Reorienting Pedagogical Approaches,” is live! Check it out for teaching strategies and curricular interventions, developed by four instructors from a range of academic disciplines. https://t.co/LeQIycry02
SNL evidently learned that Cornell, with @LambertCat joining us next year, is now the place to be for classics and queer studies https://t.co/rgk6EvRkYk
I am thrilled to share that next fall I’ll be joining the Department of Classics at Cornell University, first as a postdoctoral fellow, and in 2023 as an Assistant Professor! I’m so excited and honored to be joining this wonderful community of scholars.
When grad students come together to talk pedagogy, beautiful things happen. @diananewby and my project on teaching citational practice is now publicly available! Massive thank you to all of our colleagues who contributed to this pilot issue 👇👇👇
Thrilled to share that @lambertcat and my project, Teaching Citational Practices: Critical Feminist Approaches, is officially live! Please check out our website, https://t.co/DrS5KqGpiw, and feel free to share & use (and cite!) the instructional resources we’ve collected there.
I'm excited to take the pedagogy workshop series that @LambertCat and I developed @ColumbiaCTL onto a national stage! We're running a STEM-centered version of "Teaching Citational Practice: A Critical Feminist Approach" with @cirtlnetwork in October.
