Scholars at Risk: Scratching Old and New Surfaces of Postsecondary Teaching

Catalysts A Conversation Series on Teaching
This is a monthly series of conversations with UofA teaching award winners on their trials and triumphs in teaching. Led by the award winners themselves, the series is meant to provide a forum for celebration, conversation and reflection about teaching practices. Everyone is welcome to come and learn from some of our best teachers.
Dr. Connie Varnhagen moderates this three-person panel by guiding each speaker through five minutes of contextual framing and ten minutes of concrete tips aimed to illustrate challenging realities of teaching.
Dr. Jerry Kachur explores multiple understandings of ‘accountability’ in the new labour of teaching.
Dr. Toni Samek examines teaching within and without transborder internationalization and distance education.
Dr. Malinda S. Smith addresses systemic patterns and counteractions in the enduring struggle for equity and diversity in teaching.
