Sent on behalf of Grace Davie:

Dear Colleagues,
 
You are invited to attend the second faculty luncheon on experiential education.  At the first lunch, faculty volunteered to be students assigned to role play a lobbying visit.  We also did cell biology, with play-doh!.  

For our next lunch, we are thrilled to have Katherine Profeta (Drama) explain how she challenges students to stage a familiar dramatic scene using Brechtian concepts as opposed to psychological realism.

Premilla Nadasen (History) will lead us through a unique pedagogy she has developed that help students to rethink standard narratives of the Civil Rights Movement using primary documents.  

Event: Experiential Learning luncheon
Date: Monday March 18, 2013
Time: 12:15 - 1:30 pm
Location: 360 Razran Hall (subject to change)
 
Please help us plan the refreshments by completing this RSVP: http://tinyurl.com/exped-18Mar2013

This luncheon is being sponsored by the Center for Teaching and Learning at the request of a group of faculty who gathered over the summer in 2012 to discuss simulations, internship courses, and civic engagement.

We would now like to bring more faculty into this ongoing conversation about experiential learning at Queens College.  The format of this lunch will allow ample time for discussion and peer-to-peer feedback. 

Send Questions to grace.davie@qc.cuny.edu

Hope to see you there!

Best wishes,
Grace
