Join us for an interactive, discussion-based teaching workshop to reflect on how boundaries take shape across Humanities and Sciences teaching contexts at Northwestern. Drawing on our experiences as TAs, we will explore different ways instructors think about setting and maintaining boundaries in support of student learning.
Together, we’ll consider questions such as: How do we balance flexibility and accountability around student work? What challenges arise when enforcing course expectations across different teaching contexts and identity positions?
Our conversation may include topics such as the use of artificial intelligence in the classroom, instructor positionality alongside work requirements, and the sustainability of different teaching strategies in promoting our well-being as TAs. This workshop is designed as a space for collective reflection, idea-sharing, and learning from one another.
This workshop is a part of the Graduate Teaching Fellows Workshop Series. Facilitated by Graduate Teaching Fellows:
Jalin Jackson, PhD Candidate, Black Studies
Maya Pathuri, PhD Candidate, Chemistry
Victoria Pham, PhD Candidate, History
Cost: free
