Faculty Mattersaddresses some of the most pressing issues on our minds as ۲ݮƵ’s educators and scholars. The seriesfeatures a lineup of ۲ݮƵ colleagues working in disciplines and Faculties across our campuses who will lead discussions of relevance to us. Faculty Matters will convene six times in 2024-25.
Sessions take place at lunch hour, from 12-1 pm in an online meeting. All are warmly welcome!

Supporting students through and after COVID-19 |
21 July 2020 |
Equity and University Life Balance through and after COVID-19 In many ways, the COVID-19 crisis has had disproportionate effects on marginalized populations and groups that are underrepresented in postsecondary educations. What are the equity implications of COVID-19 for university members (students, staff, and faculty)? And are there opportunities to leverage this unprecedented disruption in the ways we learn, work, and collaborate to establish university processes and practices that promote equity? |
|
7 July 2020 |
Respectful and Inclusive Learning Environments ۲ݮƵ’s commitment to equity is cross-cutting, guiding all aspects of our academic mission. Ensuring that our students learn in spaces characterized by openness to diverse views and by respectful and inclusive engagement is of paramount importance. How can we ensure that our classroom spaces are open, accessible, and inclusive? To what extent are these commitments challenged if students must learn virtually for the coming period? Join experts from ۲ݮƵ’s Equity Team who will lead a discussion on these questions. |

23 June 2020 |

16 June 2020 |
Teaching Remotely Part 1: Effective Pedagogy at a Distance Last March, the pivot to remote delivery of our courses was sudden and instructors across campus moved swiftly to transition their teaching to virtual platforms to ensure our students could continue their learning. Remote delivery of courses continues into the Summer term and it may be the case that our Fall term will require remote delivery for at least some of our courses. Join two campus leaders in the realm of teaching and learning in a discussion about the resources and strategies that ۲ݮƵ has put in place to support instructors through this transition so that we can maintain our commitment to quality academic programs and courses. |

Meaningful Graduate and Postdoctoral Supervision at a Distance What strategies and best practices can be put in place to supervise and guide our graduate and postdoctoral students effectively, even while we may not be permitted to meet with or train them in person? How can we work to ensure that these students feel well supported and mentored as they work toward the completion of their programs and projects? |
