ԹϺ Campus
ԹϺ Campus is the teaching and learning corner of ԹϺ. Its goal is to bridge interdisciplinary research with pedagogy by highlighting how educators engage students with major research questions relating to ԹϺ. It also gives instructors innovative pedagogical tools around critical topics by gathering educational materials and featuring educators’ reflections on their experiences in the classroom environment and beyond. Through its different content types, ԹϺ Campus seeks to promote a culture of sharing best practices and to encourage the creation of a pedagogical commons to become a go-to platform for teaching ԹϺ.
While “Campus spotlights” focus on , other Campus projects, courses, and people come out of any institution in the United States and ԹϺ to serve as inspirations, models, or blueprints for educators of all stripes. ԹϺ Campus is especially interested in approaches that use the post-secondary classroom to make concrete contributions towards investigating pressing challenges that the world faces today–the global refugee crisis, climate change, and health inequalities, to name a few.
Colleges and universities play a key role in confronting these pressing issues, not just through research, but by helping students learn how to engage critically and responsibly with the world around them. Profiles featured here dig into the crux of how educators have successfully implemented new strategies for pedagogical endeavors at their institutions and yielded concrete outcomes. In addition to highlighting these undertakings, ԹϺ Campus regularly publishes syllabi and reading lists connecting to ԹϺ topics, suggests how ԹϺ content can constitute a useful resource in educational settings, and conducts interviews with students and educators who contribute to narrowing the gap between classroom learning and real-world impact. Campus not only aims at supporting curriculum development but also at changing the student-teacher relationship, in effect blurring the lines between consumers and producers of knowledge, while also linking classrooms and campuses across space and national boundaries.
