Reading & Listening Groups
Most of you have zero time for anything extra. But if you crave some additional ways to reflect on your teaching and professional work, this year’s reading groups will use podcasts, rather than books, as source material. The podcast episodes run 30-40 minutes and can be listened to while driving, exercising, or cooking. You can attend a discussion meeting synchronously, participate in the discussion asynchronously, or skip the discussion altogether and just listen on your own.

This group is run by and for junior faculty, led this year by Jethro Hernandez Berrones. Look for sign-up information in your email.
Conversations On Our Scholarly & Creative Lives
This series enables faculty to learn about colleagues’ scholarly and creative work while joining together for refreshments and conversation. Presenters share their work and then discuss it with the audience. Slots are available for faculty who would like to give a talk on their current research or creative projects.
