Pedagogy Reading Groups

The CTE organizes occasional reading groups open to instructors interested in delving into a particular author’s work or into a timely pedagogical text. Meetings are informal and are meant to provide an opportunity to share reactions, questions, and thoughts about how to implement the principles introduced in the reading.

Facilitated by CTE staff, these groups provide instructors the opportunity to connect across disciplines about a range of teaching topics. Past participants have mentioned “the diversity of the group - in terms of field, experience, and class type” and the “free-form conversation” as some of the benefits of the program.

"Imagination: A Manifesto" by Ruha Benjamin

In anticipation of Ruha Benjamin’s Excellence in Teaching Day keynote lecture, the CTE is organizing a couple opportunities — one in person over lunch and one on Zoom — to discuss the chapter, “Imagining the Future,” from her latest work, Imagination: A Manifesto. Building on her earlier work on the ways technology can exacerbate racial divides in the name of bringing people together for common cause, her latest book examines the emancipatory power of the imagination.

All 51 instructors are welcome to join the conversation. Everyone who registers will receive a free copy of the book. Either join us in person on April 23 from 12:00 - 1:00 or on Zoom on April 24 from 4:00 - 5:00.

Reach out to centerforteaching@bc.edu with any questions.
