Workshop and Working Group proposals due: April 29, 2022
ACS is pleased to put out a special call to ACS faculty and staff members for summer virtual workshop and working group proposals.
- Workshops consist of 1-4 faculty and/or staff members from multiple institutions who collaborate to develop and deliver 90-minute sessions across the consortium.
- Working groups are made up of 4-8 faculty and/or staff members who participate in multiple conversations to develop and/or curate material. Working groups result in some sort of tangible product.
ACS will facilitate the formation of cross-campus collaborations; teams must include members from multiple institutions. If you have an idea that fits one of the 10 topics below, but don’t yet have a team, propose it; we will help you find collaborators.
Proposals must tie to one of the following topics:
- Faculty Well-being
- Trauma-informed Pedagogy
- Excellence in Advising: How to define, nurture, recognize and reward
- Mentoring Series: (any of these OR another take on mentoring)
- Mentoring Second- and third-year faculty members
- Mentoring First-year faculty members
- Forming Disciplinary Mentoring Groups within the ACS
- Best practices in mentoring UG research students
- Strategies for Planning, Maintaining, and Energizing Scholarship Post-COVID
- Teaching to Neurodiversity
- Creating an inclusive department: majors, faculty, staff
- Using the UN Sustainable Development Goals in classrooms and/or study abroad
- How to create “space” for civil discourse on campus
- Flexibility, rigor, equity, and other conversations about the nature of our classrooms.
