The Committee on Teaching and Scholarship is pleased to announce that Faculty Development Day will be on May 9. The schedule and number of programs are still to be determined. However, the committee is now accepting proposals for 45-minute sessions on topics related to the keynote theme or on a topic of interest to you and your peers. If you are the Chair of a committee that traditionally presents on Faculty Development Day, please still submit a proposal.
Please submit a session proposal with a title, brief session description, and speakers/presenters to the FDD Moodle site by April 12. For any other requests or questions, please contact TAS Chair Patrick Murphy via email: tas@up.edu
The keynote theme is “The City and the Campus: Models for Becoming the University for Portland.” The day will be kicked off by a keynote address by Nicole King, a renowned scholar and practitioner of place-based public engagement. King’s keynote will spring from her experience building a series of public humanities projects and programs between universities and local neighborhoods, including Baltimore Traces and the Baltimore Field School. The presenters envision this Faculty Development Day as an inspiration to faculty from all disciplines to heed the call for scholarly public engagement in their research and teaching that can make a difference both on our campus and in our city.
