Hello Grad Directors and Coordinators!

Please share the following events with your grads.

We're very excited about this:

"Between the World and Me" Teaching Panel: Finding Optimal Discomfort for Maximal Learning: Teaching Race and Other Difficult Topics

Thursday, January 26 at 3:00pm
Erb Memorial Union (EMU), Lease Crutcher Lewis Room (023)<https://calendar.uoregon.edu/ErbMemorialUnion>

Graduate students are invited to our "Between the World and Me" teaching panel on Thursday, January 26th at 3:00 pm with guests Kathryn Oleson of Reed College (Professor of Psychology), Jessica Vasquez-Tokos (UO Associate Professor of Sociology), and Celena Simpson (UO PHilosophy PhD student and Pathway Oregon Advisor).

Inspired by Ta-Nehisi Coates' visit to the UO in February, and the adoption of his Between the World and Me as the UO Common Reading (and as a book used in many courses this year), this panel will address teaching race and other difficult topics. Hear from instructors who have identified strategies that keep students engaged when material creates discomfort and discord, with the goal of achieving broader perspectives and greater learning.

RSVP for the Teaching Panel here<https://gradschool.uoregon.edu/rsvp#overlay-context=rsvp>.

It should be a great panel!

Another option for science (broadly construed) students : Encourage students to consider submitting to the Oregon Academy of Science meeting, held on the Oregon State campus (deadline to submit is Jan 31st; meeting is Saturday Feb 25). Several social sciences and science education are among the categories for submissions (plus all the classic STEM fields). Because it's just up the highway, and not expensive, this is a great conference for grad students who want to try something out - e.g., new data, or presenting for the first time. Link for submissions is here: https://goo.gl/forms/jpP94ReFnl8EBDtu1; call for submissions is attached. Oregon Academy of Sciences website here: http://www.oregonacademyscience.org/
