Center for Teaching, Learning and Research

Tom Scheinfeldt, Associate Professor of Digital Media and Design, Associate Professor of History, and Director of Digital Humanities in the Digital Media Center at University of Connecticut, will be visiting Monday, December 12th, 12:15-1:30 for a lunch time lecture.

The goal for this workshop is to engage in a discussion about the goals of this contested concept called a liberal arts education and what relevance such an education might have to informing the focus question, “What is the good life and how do we live it together?” We begin with a foundational work in the ‘Western’ tradition that is particularly relevant to liberal arts colleges in the USA and then to modern texts that illuminate unexamined assumptions about teaching and learning at Middlebury.

Forest Jarvis ‘15 will discuss his current experience as a Fulbright Scholar conducting research in the Philippines, and Maddie Gilbert ‘14 will discuss her year as a Fulbright Scholar English Teaching Assistant in Brazil. Lunch provided.

Learn about different summer research opportunities from Middlebury students who have participated in programs. Opportunities available in multiple disciplines. Programs discussed include Amgen, C3, Middlebury, REUs, SURF and application processes. For more info, see go/uro
