conversations on teaching focus on emergent teaching and learning issues in an informal, discussion-based format.  these sessions provide members of the vanderbilt teaching community a chance to share their teaching experiences and learn from each other. conversations on teaching typically begin with opening remarks from panelists and then open up to larger group discussions.

fall 2012 conversations on teaching include:

• going public with teaching evaluations
• feminist pedagogies
• teaching with blogs – it’s not about sharing what you had for breakfast
