More Details

You are invited to join a group of colleagues who will be reading and discussing the book An Urgency of Teachers: The Work of Critical Digital Pedagogy, by Sean Michael Morris and Jesse Stommel.

The publisher describes the book as follows: “This collection of essays explores the authors’ work in, inquiry into, and critique of online learning, educational technology, and the trends, techniques, hopes, fears, and possibilities of digital pedagogy. The ideas of this volume span almost two decades of pedagogical thinking, practice, outreach, community development, and activism.”

This book group will be facilitated by Michelle Conceison and will meet four times via Zoom:

  • Sept. 16, Sept. 30, Oct. 14, Oct. 28
  • 9-10 AM

Participation is limited; if you are interested in joining the group, please register as soon as possible.

If you're looking for some just-in-time training or want to dig a little deeper into a specific topic of interest, MTSU subscribes to both Teaching Professor ("reflects the changing needs of today's college faculty and the students they teach") and Academic Leader ("reflects the evolving needs of academic deans, department chairs and heads, program directors, and others with leadership responsibilities") online publications. If attempting to access either publication off-campus, you'll be asked to enter your MTSU credentials.
