join us this wednesday at 12:10 in the community room of the central library for the kick-off event of our new series of conversations about teaching writing.

“teaching. writing. learning.” is a series of monthly lunchtime conversations for anyone who teaches writing at vanderbilt to gather and discuss specific issues, hear an invited colleague briefly introduce a relevant best practice, hear a bit of about other research-based practices, share one’s own best strategies, and ask questions of all present.

these interactive, informal conversations will offer a venue for discussion, learning new approaches, and solving problems. the “teaching. writing. learning.” series is sponsored by the 2022年世界杯中国小组赛积分, the writing studio, and the heard library.

jonathan gilligan (earth & environmental sciences), emily king (english), and richard lloyd (sociology) will lead the kick-off event for this series, “starting the conversation: a panel on inspiring your students to write.” this conversation will take place on wednesday, august 28 from 12:10-1pm in the community room of the central library.
