How faculty can work less if departments communicate more
Nathan Grawe, Assistant Professor of Economics
Kirk Jeffrey, Professor of History
Serena Zabin, Assistant Professor of History
and other members of the history and economics departments
Gould Library Athenaeum
It's 10 a.m. - do you know what your colleagues are doing? Might it help your teaching if you did know? Members of the history and economics department talked about how department-wide discussions of goals and curricula in the light of basic literacies (such as writing, oral communication and information literacy) have changed what they do. Hear what the departments and individual faculty members gained, what the consequences (intended and unintended) and spillover benefits were, and what obstacles they encountered. Videotape or DVD of this presentation is available from the LTC, Willis 207.
