Empowering Scholarship: Generating Research & Writing from our Courses

Participants in this FLC will learn about and experiment with strategies for how to use the work we are already doing in the classroom to strengthen our research and publishing. We will certainly engage with the common approach of using research methods to examine and improve pedagogy. The focus, however, will be on creatively using the substantive materials and assignment structures of our classes to generate new research agendas, conduct empirical research, and produce publishable writing. The FLC will have three modules, each focused on a different approach: 1) New courses, research agendas, and review articles; 2) Classrooms as research sites and pedagogical publishing; and 3) Working alongside students: using course structure and assignments for research and writing goals and deadlines.
