Recognizing the tension, anxiety, and fears that many of our students have about the upcoming election, this workshop will address the impact students might be feeling following the election, how that impact might affect classroom dynamics/engagement, and how faculty can acknowledge impact and/or create space for processing. This workshop will be led by Renee Wells, Director of Education for Equity and Inclusion, and moderated by Jim Ralph, CTLR director.

You don’t have to write alone! The Writing Center at Middlebury College will join other colleges and universities from around the globe in sponsoring a Write-In during the last weeks of the fall semester. The Write-In fosters a writing community by setting aside time and space for students to write together. A Peer Writing Tutor and a Research Librarian will be on hand to provide support.

One of the interesting developments in digital humanities is the emergence of “deformative criticism,” an approach to creatively “breaking” an object of study to reveal hidden facets and create innovative new works. In a DLA Behind the Scenes lunchtime presentation, Jason Mittell, Professor of Film & Media Culture and American Studies, will demonstrate a number of “videographic deformations” that he made during his research leave last year.

Join the CTLR and DLINQ for a panel discussion with five Middlebury faculty who will share key takeaways from teaching courses fully online this summer.

In this session of the Contemporary Teaching in the Liberal Arts Series, come and learn about the framework of executive function support, why it promotes accessibility, and get practical support in evaluating digital tools to support executive function for your classroom.
