Pedagogies of Place: a faculty development workshop about teaching in Queens Organized and facilitated by Lindsey Albracht (English), Eric Goldfischer (Urban Studies), Soniya Munshi (CETLL/Urban Studies), and Amy Wan (English), and CETLL Co-sponsored by the QC Library's OER Initiative, funded by N.Y.S Open Educational Resources Grant Applications due Monday, April 28, 11:59 p.m. Dates: June 10, 11, and 12, 2025 Time: 9:00 a.m. - 3:30 p.m. Where: Queens College campus; location TBD This three day in-person workshop invites QC faculty to deepen our understanding of the place we call Queens, as a campus and as a set of communities and neighborhoods. Drawing from interdisciplinary approaches to place-based education and pedagogies of writing, we will explore how critical and reflective engagement with our local contexts can inform our teaching practices. The sessions will include a mix of hands-on activities, hearing from different people across campus, and time to work on projects. Who should apply? This workshop is open to all faculty members at Queens College. No expertise or previous training is necessary, and all disciplines are welcome. The seminar will be a chance to talk about teaching and learn from peers; it will be welcoming to all participants who are interested in being more comfortable with their teaching. We especially encourage pre-tenure/CCE and part-time faculty to apply as well as mid-career faculty who would like the opportunity to re-engage with their teaching.
