<p class="location"><font face="Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif"><abbr title="2017-01-26T15:00:00-08:00" class="dtstart">Thursday, January 26 at 3:00pm</abbr><abbr><br>

</font></p>
<font face="Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif">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).
<span style="font-size: 11.0pt;"></span><br>
<br>
Inspired by Ta-Nehisi Coates' visit to the UO in February, and the adoption of his
<i>Between the World and Me </i>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.

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: <a moz-do-not-send="true" href="https://goo.gl/forms/jpP94ReFnl8EBDtu1" target="_blank">
https://goo.gl/forms/jpP94ReFn<wbr>l8EBDtu1</a>; call for submissions is attached.
