There is a great deal of local knowledge and expertise on our campus regarding teaching in our disciplines and across the liberal arts and sciences. This includes the “scholarship of teaching and learning” (SoTL), which typically means research conducted about one’s own teaching or involving one’s classroom.
But Washington College teachers actively engage their scholarship, research, and creative work with their teaching: scholarship of, but also scholarship from, in, with, and into our teaching. We thus celebrate and invite you to contribute to our listing of scholarship–exhibits, performances, presentations, publications–that in any number of ways engages with or informs your teaching. And we invite you to follow up with colleagues listed here to learn from their experience and knowledge.
