Many of us educators feel like they are walking on eggshells when they express their thoughts in the classroom and when they are faced with unsophisticated student comments. The discourse is rife with loaded terms such as “coddling," “trigger warnings,” “political correctness,” “safe spaces.” How do we balance the principles of academic freedom，freedom of speech and expression，and inclusive learning environments? How can we protect ourselves and our students? The authors (one the dean of the Law School at University of California Berkeley and the other the chancellor of University of California Irvine) provide a review of what schools can and cannot do，but，more importantly，discuss what’s at stake when we talk about censorship and hate speech. Come add your perspective to the discussion! – January 24, 2019

In this workshop，author and fellow KSU faculty member Dr. Seneca Vaught will take us through the argument in his new book. We will consider the hidden costs of college and the shortcomings of considering education merely as a commodity，paying particular attention to groups of students who regularly shoulder more of that cost. We will broaden the definition of investment，moving from a guild mentality to considering long-term returns beyond financial earnings，so that we can have productive conversations with our students about the value of their education. – January 17, 2019

Why is it that so many student teams fail to live up to their potential? How can we design a process to create and manage more effective student teams? This workshop will introduce the research-based CATME team-maker and peer review tools. This online platform can be used directly，or its ideas adapted separately，to help produce high-performing teams in the classroom. Participants will explore some of the factors that research has uncovered for forming and managing effective student teams，and we will utilize the CATME system to observe how these factors can be operationalized. – January 14, 2019

This workshop highlights important components of the educational research process，often referred to as the Scholarship of Teahcing and Learning (SoTL). Building on participant backgrounds in scholarly teaching，we will highlight key aspects of carrying out various types of SoTL work (from the very small and personal to the very large and collaborative). Throughout，we will work together in groups to support each other as we generate personal plans for moving forward in our teaching and learning journeys. These plans will incorporate elements of SoTL that will help us investigate the impact of our pedagogical practices on teaching and learning. – November 29, 2018
